Pretty fun strip that has humor and a hard truth to that�kids also deal with poverty.

Indeed, Marcus. I had not even been aware of the existence of the series it belongs to before finding it up for auction, but I fell in love with exactly what you mentioned in your comment and I felt I had to nab it if at all possible.

Bravo! To have met Hugo Pratt would have been a memorable experience and to take back a souvenir like this is even more special. I'd love to hear about your interaction and impressions of the artist.

Thanks, Jeff! I treasure that little moment. I was a kid and my Dad used to bring me to Lucca Comics - he taught me how one could go to comic book artists and ask them for a souvenir sketch and, back then, Comic Cons were not the mass phenomenon they now have become, so you actually could walk up to a legend such as Hugo Pratt was and just plain ask him a drawing without having to endure a 2 hours line, or him being instantly mobbed by fans. I believe it was my father who pointed me to Pratt - I seem to remember he was chatting with people his age, in piazza Napoleone, under one of the big trees. He drew this Corto Maltese for me on the back of a page from Lucca's event guide - they were colored cardboard and I have quite a few drawings made at the time on that format by artists of the likes of Karel Thole, Al Williamson and a few more. All I remember was he looked BIG, and looked at me with some tenderness after giving me the drawing he'd just made for me.

It's effectively a page from La Schiava, number 22. The original italian title is "Vento di terra selgagge " (Wind from the wild country) and in France it was published by Elvifrance in the number 128 of the S�rie Jaune under the name "Vent sauvage" (Wild wind).

Thank you! Great news! Do you have the original story? I have another page by Del Mestre and I can only assume it's from the same episode... here's the link, in case you can spare another few minutes... http://www.comicartfans.com/my/SketchbookPieceDetail.asp?Loc=G&Piece=1176461

How long ago did you plant?

I'm a HUGE fan of the NO MAN'S LAND arc which IMO was fantastic through and through. Still, the couple of issues which guest-starred Superman were a highlight. Very cool page !

Thank you! Tell you the truth, I have never actually read that story - I just saw the page on eBay and loved the way it was composed, and what I assume is Batman's presence in the top-left frame. I guess I'll have to look the story up so I can share your enthusiasm about it! :-)
