Hugo Pratt / Lele Vianello - Corto Maltese un viaggio...

The lot includes a fabulous illustrated book about Corto Maltese, a first edition from 1999 of nearly 200 pages, in like-new condition (see photos). Also included are a 1969 Sergeant Kirk comic and a very nice black-and-white paperback comic by Lelle Vianello. Produced in collaboration with CONG and Rizzoli Lizard, the catalogue pays tribute to Hugo Pratt (1927–1995), one of the world’s greatest comic artists, and to his most famous creation, Corto Maltese—a “cult” character in the finest European graphic novels, as well as a true literary icon of the twentieth century. The more than 100 original artworks displayed at the Naples Archaeological Museum as part of the exhibition *Corto Maltese – An Extraordinary Journey* feature in this prestigious catalogue, alongside in-depth essays by some of the field’s leading experts: Francesco Boille, Laura Scarpa, Elettra Stamboulis and Stefano Cristante. The journey unfolds across several sections exploring Corto Maltese’s relationship with women and the sea, his long journeys, and Hugo Pratt’s connections with his inspirational mentors, Milton Caniff and Will Gould, as well as his adventures around the world. An illustrated, human, poetic journey… an extraordinary journey!
