Corto Maltese - Tango

In Corto Maltese - Tango (1998–present, Lizard Edizioni), Hugo Pratt returns to his globe-trotting sailor for a single-issue tale that finds Corto navigating the treacherous, romantic underworld of 1920s Buenos Aires. Co-illustrated with Guido Fuga, this standalone chapter deepens the series' signature blend of historical adventure and melancholic poetry, as Corto tangos with spies, revolutionaries, and lost loves. Though a brief entry in Pratt's legendary run, it matters as a late-era glimpse into the creator's enduring fascination with South America's volatile beauty.
