Corto Maltese: The Ballad of the Salt Sea #[nn]
“The Ballad of the Salt Sea”
Hugo Pratt's bold, spare linework is on full display here, with the seafaring Corto Maltese — captain's cap, earring, and all — filling the foreground against a open sky dotted with seabirds. Behind him, a dark-haired young woman and a tattooed figure loom with quiet intensity, hinting at the adventure and intrigue woven through "The Ballad of the Salt Sea." This 2012 Universe/Rizzoli edition is a handsome way to experience one of European comics' most compelling wanderers.
