Corto Maltese

Hugo Pratt’s legendary wandering sailor returns to Portuguese readers in this 16-issue series from Edições 70, collecting classic adventures from the 1970s and 1980s alongside new material. The series showcases Pratt’s signature lush, ink-washed art and globe-trotting narratives, with additional scripting contributions from Carlos Pessoa and Rosa Carreira. As a key European graphic novel import, it cemented Corto Maltese’s status as a sophisticated, literary adventure icon for a generation of Portuguese comics fans.
