About this Collection

This volume collects the colorized edition of 'Les Celtiques,' a key story arc in the Corto Maltese series. Originally published in black and white, this version presents Hugo Pratt's classic adventure in full color, following the enigmatic sailor Corto Maltese through mystical and historical tales set in the Celtic world. Published by Casterman as part of their 2003 Corto Maltese series, it offers a vibrant reimagining of Pratt's celebrated graphic novel.

In "Concert en O mineur pour harpe et nitroglycérine," Hugo Pratt crafts a gripping chapter of Corto Maltese’s journey as the enigmatic adventurer arrives in Dublin to confront the aftermath of Pat Finnucan’s death. With Pratt handling every aspect of the interior art and inking, and Patrizia Zanotti’s subtle colors enhancing the mood, this issue unfolds a layered narrative of betrayal and quiet heroism. The cover, also by Pratt, captures the story’s brooding tone with its stark, evocative lines.
