Corto Maltese #2

This volume collects the first complete Corto Maltese adventure, originally serialized in 1967, following the enigmatic sailor as he becomes entangled with pirates, treasure hunters, and a mysterious archipelago in the South Pacific during World War I. Hugo Pratt's masterful blend of historical fiction, adventure, and lush black-and-white artwork introduces Corto's morally complex world and his quest for the fabled treasure of the Escondida. The IDW edition presents a newly restored translation and archival materials for modern readers.
