Corto Maltese #5, published by Casterman in 1991, features the wanderer Corto Maltese in a story titled "L’aigle du Brésil," drawn and written by Hugo Pratt. The issue brings together a cast of enigmatic figures including Bouche Dorée, Jeremiah Steiner, Morgana Dias dos Santos Bantam, Raspoutine, Soledad Lokäarth, and Tristan Bantam in a tale rendered in Pratt’s distinctive style, with color by Patrizia Zanotti and cover art by Pratt himself.
In "L’aigle du Brésil," Corto, Steiner, and Tristan sail from Bahia in a yawl, chasing rumors 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 vessel damaged and his story shrouded in mystery.
