Who doesn’t know the tales of a initiated sailor – a solitary dandy, generous, arrogant and inscrutable, one with the dreamy eyes of a gentleman of fortune, a man who is utterly human – a man called Corto Maltese? Nowadays, an unwritten law would have it that behind such a beloved, admired and splendid character a modest man must be lurking, someone much inferior to his own creation. This is not the case with Corto Maltese. His creator, Hugo Pratt, is a revelation in his own right. A master of adventure, a spellbinding vagabond – a sort of modern knight errant – his amazing existence unfolds between Venice and the rest of the world, leaving the legend of his hand-drawn hero nothing to envy.
