hello

'Maybe i'm the king of fools,
the last representative of a completely
extinguished dynasty who believed in
generosity and heroism'

- Corto Maltese

CORTO MALTESE

Son of an English fisherman and an Andalusian gypsy, he's
six feet tall, his eyes are the color of honey, and he has
an earring in his left lobe. His first adventure dates 1967
(The ballad of the salty sea), but his 'real' birth is
precedent, on July 10 1887 in Valletta, island of Malta. His
home is Antigua, and Hong Kong. He's a romantic fisherman
and a makeshift gentleman. His job is travelling the world.

The work is addressed to the dreamers in all the
world


'When an adult enters the world of tales, he can't escape
from it:
didn't you know?'

Golden Mouth to Corto Maltese

Without him,
nothing would have been done
He's the master
He's Hugo Pratt

'Pratt is very sensible, his work is full of feelings more
than action and adventure. We wanted to offer to those who
didn't know him the possibility to recover their strongest
sensations.'

- Sophie Glass (art producer)

With his watercolours,
illustrations and comics
he managed to give
a visual form
to poetry.

'A black spot,
a window, a door,
but this is enough
to make imagine
all the rest.
The idea is to draw
what remains
into out imagination.

- Pascal Morelli (movie director)

thanks.

bye
