Dedicated to Corto Maltese #[nn]
This slim volume collects a series of tributes to Hugo Pratt's iconic adventurer Corto Maltese, originally published in 1985 by Kesselring. It brings together short comics and illustrations by various European artists, each offering their own interpretation of the character in a homage format rather than a single narrative arc.
"La Disparition de Corto" is a striking, dreamlike entry in the Corto Maltese saga, written, drawn, and inked by Milo Manara in a distinctive, fluid style that blurs reality and memory. Set on a mysterious beach where figures from Corto’s world drift in and out of focus, the story unfolds through a quiet, haunting encounter with Raspoutine, whose presence unsettles the familiar faces of the series. The cover, a striking collaboration by Hugo Pratt, captures the enigmatic tone of the tale with its evocative, shadowed figures.
In this brief, evocative tale from *Dedicated to Corto Maltese*, Raspoutine wanders a quiet beach where figures from Corto Maltese’s world drift in and out of view. As he speaks to a few familiar faces, most remain silent, watching him with quiet intensity—caught between memory and myth.
