Description

This page was first published in the Italian and French book Dedicated to Corto Maltese in 1981. It was also published in the (A Suivre) Special Pratt issue after Pratt�s death in 1995. It is an hommage from one Italian master to another, and shows Corto Maltese facing a Fascist execution squad in the Spanish Civil War in 1937. It also shows Giardino�s principal hero Max Fridman and Bouche Doree, a mystical lady from the Corto Maltese series, watching and commenting.
Pratt had hinted that Corto was killed in the Spanish Civil War, but he never got around to create a story about it. Instead, we have this one-page story; dramatic, mystic and poetic like Pratt�s own Corto stories.

I don't know what to say. Wonderful art and design on this page. A fitting end to Corto yet now I am in mourning... Corto will live on for the ages.
