Corto Maltese - Fable de Venise

In 2007, Casterman published Corto Maltese - Fable de Venise, a single-issue comic that brings Hugo Pratt's iconic, globe-trotting sailor to the haunting canals of Venice. This story, scripted by Christine Vernière and illustrated by Pratt himself, is a melancholic, dreamlike adventure that deepens the character's mythos with a touch of Venetian mystery. As part of Pratt’s long-running, acclaimed series, this issue stands out for its atmospheric, almost fable-like quality, offering a poignant coda to Corto’s journeys.
