Corto Maltese #14

Corto Maltese strides confidently into the heart of a dense, shadowy jungle on Rubén Pellejero's cover for Équatoria — the sailor's white trousers and red cravat vivid against the tangled green canopy, while a woman in a flowing dress, a young child, and an armed soldier linger in the background. Juan Díaz Canales and Pellejero bring real care to this 2017 Casterman volume, continuing Hugo Pratt's beloved adventurer with a story that promises equatorial intrigue and atmospheric depth. If you've ever wanted to follow Corto into uncharted territory, this beautifully composed cover alone makes a compelling case.
