About the series
In 1984, Finnish publisher Jalava began releasing a series of comics collecting the adventures of Corto Maltese, the wandering sailor created by Hugo Pratt. Spanning 15 issues and continuing to the present day, these editions brought Pratt’s lyrical, historically rich storytelling to a new audience. The series is essential for showcasing one of European comics' most iconic characters, blending travelogue, adventure, and a melancholic sense of freedom.
