Corto Maltese #17

The legendary sailor Corto Maltese takes center stage on this 2024 German-language edition, rendered by Rubén Pellejero with a confident close-up of the seafarer in his distinctive naval coat and cap, a towering Mesoamerican pyramid rising through lush jungle behind him. A vivid red bird cuts across the turquoise sky, lending the scene a sense of faraway adventure that feels entirely at home in Hugo Pratt's beloved universe. With Juan Díaz Canales and Pellejero continuing the saga under the title "Die Lebenslinie," this volume promises the same blend of moody atmosphere and globe-trotting mystery that has defined Corto Maltese for generations.
