In "Voodoo for the President," Corto Maltese ventures deep into the jungle with Maranguay, searching for Stone's grandson, drawn into a dangerous web of legacy and betrayal. When slaver Mendoza attacks, Maranguay’s brutal retaliation leads to a shocking moment of survival, and the wounded man is tended to by Stone himself. Written and illustrated by Hugo Pratt, this issue blends adventure and mystery with Pratt’s signature artistry, while the cover by Pratt captures the story’s tense, exotic atmosphere.
In "Voodoo for the President," Corto Maltese finds himself entangled in the strange politics of Port Ducal, a fledgling republic where the government of Dr. Zola has silenced dissenters like Soledad Lokaarth and Jesus-Mary. When Maltese crosses paths with the enigmatic Big Mask, a witch doctor with ties to the island’s hidden resistance, he’s drawn into a web of secrets that could topple a regime—or end in blood.
In "Sweet Dream Lagoon," Corto Maltese stumbles upon a dying English deserter on a remote island during World War I, where fever and memory blur into a dreamlike haze. As the man clings to life, his fragmented stories speak of a German tank he claims to have destroyed—and a mysterious encounter with Rilke.
In "A Tale of Two Grandfathers," Corto Maltese ventures deep into the jungle with Maranguay, searching for Stone’s grandson. When slaver Mendoza attacks, Maranguay’s fate takes a brutal turn—only to be saved by the boy’s other grandfather, Stone, in a moment that reshapes their shared past.
