Corto Maltese is one of my all time favorite characters. This mysterious adventurer-sailor was created by legendary comic artist Hugo Pratt in 1967 and is a classic of the European comic art. I just love the drawing style and use of line and contrast.
Corto Maltese is a the last romantic hero, idealist, anarchist, a pirate and a man who creates his own fate. I think I've always had a small crush on him....
Q-Theatre in Helsinki is doing a play based on the Corto Maltese graphic novels, I hope it will do justice to the series.

ps. Another great European classic comic artist worth getting to know is Milo Manara.....
