''Corto Maltese'' is a comics series featuring an eponymous character, a complex sailor-adventurer. It was created by Italian comic book creator Hugo Pratt in 1967. The ''Corto Maltese'' series has been translated into numerous languages. ==Publication history== The character debuted in the serial ''Una ballata del mare salato'' (''Ballad of the Salt Sea''), one of several Pratt stories published in the first edition of the magazine ''Sergeant Kirk'' in July 1967. The story centers around smugglers and pirates in the World War I–era Pacific Islands. In 1970, Pratt moved to France and began a series of short ''Corto Maltese'' stories for the Franco-Belgian comics magazine ''Pif Gadget'', an arrangement lasting four years and producing many 20-page stories. In 1974 he returned to full-length stories, sending Corto to 1918 Siberia in the story ''Corte sconta detta arcana'' (''Corto Maltese in Siberia''), first serialised in the Italian comics magazine ''Linus''. In 1976, ''Ballad of the Salt Sea'' was published in book format and was awarded the prize for best foreign realistic comic album at the Angoulême International Comics Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Le Palmarès 1976 )〕 Pratt continued to produce new stories over the next two decades, many first appearing in the eponymous comics magazine ''Corto Maltese'', until 1988 when the final story ''Mu'' was serialised, ending in June 1989. On October 7, 2014 Italian publisher Cong who owns the rights to Corto Maltese, announced that a new album is being made by writer Juan Díaz Canales and artist Rubén Pellejero. No release date was announced.〔http://cortomaltese.com/blog/2014/10/07/still-alive-and-coming-back/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Corto Maltese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
