Corto Maltese

Hugo Pratt’s legendary globetrotting sailor, Corto Maltese, continues his adventures in this ongoing series from Schreiber & Leser, which began in 2015 and has reached 17 issues. While Pratt’s own artwork is featured, the series has been carried forward by writers Resel Rebiersch and Benoît Mouchart, with Rubén Pellejero among the artists continuing the character’s elegantly melancholic, historically rich voyages. It matters as a dedicated revival of one of comics’ most iconic literary adventurers, keeping his spirit alive for a new generation.
