Hard Cover. Condition: New. Casterman 2015. Black & White illustrations. A faithful and modern revival of a great contemporary myth. Rubén Pellejero takes hold of Hugo Pratt's graphic codes while succeeding in investing them with his own sensitivity, through the care given to the settings, the secondary characters and the colouring. The new story imagined by screenwriter Juan Díaz Canales reactivates the springs of the Prattian gesture (fidelity to the word given to a friend, treasure hunt, authentic historical facts, etc.). The punchy dialogues of this great adventure story will delight aficionados as much as they will seduce new readers. A black and white book for great Corto Maltese fans. A notebook composed of a critical apparatus and unpublished drawings completes the work. This book is in excellent condition. 96 pages. Size: 9" x 13" (240mm x 320mm). ISBN: 9782203099869. (1).
