Corto Maltese #6
In "In the Name of Allah, the Merciful and Compassionate," Hugo Pratt, Dean Mullaney, and Simone Castaldi deliver a haunting chapter of Corto Maltese’s journey through Ethiopia, where he meets the enigmatic shaman Shamael—whose visions of the dead and demons unsettle even the most hardened souls. As Corto and his companion Cush become entangled in a volatile tribal conflict, the weight of ancient beliefs and hidden truths begins to shape their fate. The story’s stark, evocative art by Hugo Pratt, both in the interior and on the cover, captures the mystery and intensity of a world where the spiritual and the violent collide.
