About the series
Hugo Pratt’s dashing, world-weary sailor-adventurer stars in this European series collected by Carlsen from 1981 to 1988 across nine issues. Written and drawn primarily by Pratt himself, with contributions from Ole Steen Hansen and Didier Platteau, the stories blend historical fiction, romance, and mysticism as Corto navigates the early 20th century. Enhanced by the photographic work of Roger-Viollet, the series is a cornerstone of literate, atmospheric adventure comics.
