About this Collection

This volume collects the second Corto Maltese adventure, originally serialized in 1986, as the enigmatic sailor finds himself entangled in a web of political intrigue and supernatural forces during a journey through Haiti and the Caribbean. The story blends historical fiction with voodoo mysticism, showcasing Hugo Pratt's signature lyrical storytelling and detailed artwork.

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.
