Fort Wheeling

Set in a fictionalized version of the American frontier, Fort Wheeling is a single-issue Western graphic novel from Casterman, created and fully realized by the legendary Hugo Pratt. Known primarily for his globe-trotting adventurer Corto Maltese, Pratt here turns his hand to a stark, self-contained tale of soldiers and Native Americans at a remote outpost. Though brief, the issue stands as a distinctive, atmospheric entry in Pratt's body of work, showcasing his signature ink-wash art and thoughtful, morally complex storytelling in the Old West.
