Corto Maltese is an adventurer and sailor from the world of European comics, renowned for his free spirit, melancholic gaze, and strong moral compass, which repeatedly draws him into historical and exotic conflicts during the early twentieth century. His stories blend reality and fantasy, bringing fictional characters into contact with historical figures, and unfold in settings ranging from South America to Asia, always with a poetic and introspective tone.
His creator, Hugo Pratt, was a pivotal Italian author in establishing comics as a literary art form. Through Corto Maltese, Pratt introduced a sophisticated style of storytelling marked by cultural, historical, and literary references. Among the most celebrated works in the series is The Ballad of the Salt Sea. His approach influenced generations of artists and helped consolidate European comics as a mature and artistic medium.
