Hugo Pratt is a magician! It's a shame there is no decent Corto Maltese in English. Thanks for the article! I also paid a tribute to Corto: http://graphicnovelscomics.suite101.com/article.cfm/discover-the-magic-world-of-corto-maltese Totally agree! Hugo Pratt is a magician!

We're all hoping this time the promised new English language editions come about because we'd love to see them. Thanks for the info on the Spanish editions, Eduardo, glad you enjoyed Rod’s article.

How can that be possible considering that the man himself lived here and that Corto Maltese is the son of a British sailor???? I just hope that they actually publish those books in English, I'm completely sure that millions of people would enjoy them. Excellent piece of information your post. Too sad not other people are doing this. Thanks for the info.

Absolutely Mark, it just seems inconceivable that it wouldn't be a huge success (I think I wrote that right). Very good points Mahendra, with a big enough collection we could see the line work and his watercolours side-by-side. Will it ever really happen though? Many thanks.

The color Castermann albums are wonderful but if you really wish to understand how black ink and white bristol board can interact at the highest & most fluid sense, carefully study the B&W reprints … great article!
