Corto Maltés, a charismatic sailor, becomes embroiled in his first great adventure: a plot of intrigue, betrayal and danger in the Pacific seas. Originally published in 1967, the story combines adventure and historical reflection, and its narrative and visual approach renewed the comic, anticipating the modern graphic novel.

For readers aged 12 and up looking for an adventure comic with historical depth.
Ugo Eugenio Prat, better known as Hugo Pratt, was an Italian comic book creator who was known for combining strong storytelling with extensive historical research on works such as Corto Maltese. He was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 2005, and was awarded the 15th anniversary special Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême at the Angoulême Festival. In 1946 Hugo Pratt became part of the so-called Group of Venice with Fernando Carcupino, Dino Battaglia and Damiano Damiani.
