About this Collection

This black-and-white paperback edition collects the early Corto Maltese stories that form the 'Under the Sign of Capricorn' arc, originally serialized in the 1970s. It features Corto's adventures alongside characters like Raspoutine, Soledad Lokäarth, and Bouche Dorée, as well as the enigmatic Morgana and Tristan Bantam, with the scholarly Jeremiah Steiner providing context. Published by Casterman, this volume is part of the original series that established Hugo Pratt's iconic wandering sailor in a blend of historical fiction and exotic adventure.

In "Le Secret de Tristan Bantam," Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese sets sail with Steiner and Tristan, chasing the legend of a sunken galleon laden with gold. Their journey takes a sudden turn when they stumble upon a wounded fisherman adrift in a small boat, his story as mysterious as the treasure they seek. With Pratt’s signature blend of atmospheric detail and quiet tension, this 1979 issue delivers a gripping, grounded adventure where every shadow holds a question.
