Corto Maltese - Favola di Venezia (Sirat al bunduqiyyah)

Hugo Pratt’s lyrical, globe-trotting sailor returns in this 1984 one-shot from Milano Libri Edizioni, a moody Venetian fable co-illustrated with Guido Fuga. The story finds Corto Maltese drifting through a dreamlike, canal-laced cityscape, blending historical whispers with Pratt’s signature watercolor atmospherics. Though a single issue, it’s a cherished, self-contained chapter in the long-running series, showcasing Pratt’s enduring gift for literate, melancholy adventure.
