Corto Maltese by Sean Gordon Murphy

Corto Maltese

"I'm not a hero. I like to travel and I don't care for rules, but I respect just one: I never betray my friends.".

Every time I see a commission or comic page featuring Hugo Pratt’s seminal creation I think of adventure, the character inspires artists to create images that always seem to tell an entire story with a single illustration and it just supercharges my imagination.

This was a convention sketch by Sean Gordon Murphy. I like how SMG used a looser style that really evokes Hugo Pratt
