Review:

"One of the Ten Best Graphic Novels of 2015. A world classic of the comics form.... American readers have been waiting decades for an edition to match its lofty status. Now EuroComics/IDW is releasing the stories in a series of deluxe trade editions, with new introductions, high production value and crystal-clear reproduction of the stunning black and white artwork." -Forbes

"These are the lines of a master, bringing you far-flung escapist adventures that take place in the early part of the 20th Century, a romantic world of rogues and scoundrels." -13th Dimension

About the Author:

Hugo Pratt (1927-1995) is considered one of the great graphic novelists in the history of the medium. His strips, graphic works, and watercolors have been exhibited at the Grand Palais in Paris and the Vittoriano in Rome, and a landmark show in 2011 at the Pinacotheque in Paris drew 215,000 visitors, hailing Pratt as "the inventor of the literary comic strip."

Book Description Soft Cover. Condition: New. Euro Comics / IDW Publishing 2015. Black & White illustrations. The second volume in the definitive English language edition of Hugo Pratt's masterpiece, Corto Maltese, presented in the original oversized B&W format and with new translations made from Pratt's original Italian scripts. "Mushroom Heads" begins in Maracaibo, Venezuela, where Corto Maltese and Professor Steiner lead an expedition on the trail of the legendary El Dorado, financed by the antiquarian Levi Colombia. In "Banana Conga," Corto has his first and nearly fatal encounter with the beautiful yet dangerous mercenary Venexiana Stevenson. Within this framework of adventure, Hugo Pratt weaves themes dealing with the exploitation of indigenous people, the noble struggle to gain freedom and independence, and how cowardice can poison men of all classes. The action, set in 1917, takes Corto Maltese from the Mosquito Coast to Barbados to a deadly struggle among Jivaro head-hunters in the Peruvian Amazon. 116 pages. Size: 9" x 12" (236mm x 297mm). ISBN: 9781631403170. (1.1). Seller Inventory # CM4
