Corto Maltese - La lagune des beaux songes

Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese - La lagune des beaux songes is a single-issue chapter from the legendary Italian adventure series, published in 1972 by Publicness. Written and illustrated entirely by Pratt, this installment follows the laconic sailor Corto Maltese through a dreamlike lagoon, blending historical intrigue with poetic, ink-washed storytelling. Though brief, it exemplifies Pratt's signature fusion of travelogue, mysticism, and character-driven narrative, cementing Corto Maltese as a cornerstone of European graphic literature.
