Corto Maltese #4
In "Under the Flag of Gold," Hugo Pratt crafts a gripping tale of uneasy alliances amid the Italian front, where soldiers from opposing sides find common ground in survival. Corto Maltese crosses paths with the fictionalized figures of Ernest Hemingway and Aristotle Onassis in a story defined by sharp wit and moral ambiguity. The issue’s richly detailed artwork, all by Pratt, brings this complex, grounded moment in wartime history to life with quiet intensity.
