About this Collection

This volume collects the 'Suite caraïbéenne' story arc from Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese series, following the romantic adventurer through Caribbean intrigues. The narrative features Corto alongside recurring characters like the mystical Bouche Dorée, the eccentric Jeremiah Steiner, and the enigmatic Morgana Dias dos Santos Bantam, as well as Tristan Bantam, in a tale blending historical fiction with nautical adventure. Published by Casterman as part of the 1990 Corto Maltese collected edition series, this book presents Pratt's signature ink-wash artistry and episodic storytelling.

In "Le Secret de Tristan Bantam," Hugo Pratt delivers another masterful chapter in the adventures of Corto Maltese, as the enigmatic sailor is drawn into a mysterious quest by the young Tristan Bantam. With Pratt handling writing, art, inks, and Zanotti’s subtle coloring, the story unfolds through cryptic ancient texts and a journey to reunite with a long-lost half-sister—unfolding with the same atmospheric depth and quiet intensity that define the series. The cover, also by Pratt, captures the mood of intrigue and solitude that permeates the tale.
