Corto Malt\u00e8s, a reference of comic strips for adults<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 1967, Hugo Pratt<\/a>, an Italian\ncomic book creator with many years of experience, conceived a long format comic:\nThe Ballad of the Sea Salt<\/em>. In this\nwork, set in the First World War, and pre-published for instalments in the\nItalian magazine Sgt. Kirk, an initially secondary character was born, Corto Malt\u00e8s<\/a>. Shortly\nafterwards, Pratt chose the comic strip to continue to explain new stories, and\nCorto Malt\u00e8s would become one of the\nmost popular characters in the history of the comic<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\ngreat reader and illustrated man, Pratt turned the Corto Malt\u00e9s into a revision\nof the real history of the first thirty years of the 20th century, the years\nwhich changed the world.  This sailor,\nwho travelled all over the world, found himself in the places where history took\nplace and explained the story. The vision of Corto Malt\u00e9s is that of a witness who\nrecorded the events, but also, sometimes, he would intervene and form part of\nthe History. With a synthetic and\nrevolutionary graphism and with a modern and very careful narrative, Pratt turns\nhis character into a legend<\/strong>.   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugo\nPratt died in 1995, leaving behind him, as well as an immense and intense work\nof high graphic and literary quality, a total of twenty stories of Corto\nMalt\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New adventures of Corto Malt\u00e8s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In\n2015, Corto Maltese returned to take on new adventures. The selected authors\nwere Spanish: Juan\nD\u00edaz Canales<\/a>, as a script writer, and Rub\u00e9n Pellejero<\/a>, as the cartoonist.\nBoth were already recognized and respected professionals throughout the world,\nwith a long history of work behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00edaz\nCanales is the script writer of Blacksad<\/em>,\na black series saga drawn by Juanjo Guarnido of great success throughout\nEurope. Pellejero has for many years been notable in the French-speaking market\nfor comics with works such as Un verano\ninsolente <\/em>(An insolent summer)orLobo de lluvia<\/em> <\/em>(Rain wolf).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
