And here you go, Chevalley's amazing work on 3 Corto Maltese books. For the ones of you that do not know Corto Maltese, it is one of the quintessential european comics, created by the amazing Hugo Pratt. Treasure hunter, sailor, and adventurer, Corto Maltese remains one of the most popular characters from graphic literature in Europe. Corto Maltese is a laconic sea captain adventuring during the early 20th century (1900-1920s). A "rogue with a heart of gold", he is tolerant and sympathetic to the underdog. Born in Valletta on July 10, 1887, he is the son of a British sailor from Cornwall and an Andalusian-Romani witch and prostitute known as "La Ni??a de Gibraltar". As a boy growing up in the Jewish quarter of C??rdoba, Maltese discovered that he had no fate line on his palm and therefore carved his own with his father's razor, determining that his fate was his to choose. Although maintaining a neutral position, Corto instinctively supports the disadvantaged and oppressed.
