About the series
Hugo Pratt’s iconic, globe-trotting sailor returns in this Casterman series, which collects both Pratt’s original stories and new adventures by Juan Díaz Canales and Rubén Pellejero. Running since 2015, the series continues Corto Maltese’s poetic, morally complex journeys through early 20th-century history, with Anne-Marie Ruiz also contributing to the writing. It matters as a respectful continuation of one of comics’ most celebrated literary adventure sagas, keeping Pratt’s legacy alive for a new generation.
