Current Goal

Corto Maltese’s mission is travel to some of the places of the stories; like China, Manchuria, Ethiopia, Yemen, Somalia, Argentina, Italy, Marseille, Tunis, the Antilles, New Orleans, India, Brazil, Venezuela, Honduras, Dutch and French Guyana, Patagonia, Barbados, Peru, Hong-Kong, Siberia, Turkey, Azerbaidjan and of course the secret island of Escondida, but he likes to travel anywhere in the world.
He prefers to stay in caches near the sea.
PLEASE, TAKE PICTURES OF CORTO IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS – see my pictures for inspiration.

About This Item

Corto Maltese stuff

This Travel Bug is a tribute to my favourite adult comic hero – Corto Maltese, made by Italian Hugo Pratt.
I can read his stories over and over again, and I never get tired of them.
Corto Maltese is a sailor who travel adventurous around the world and sometimes witness real world episodes like the Boxer Rebellion and the first World War. Among fictive persons, he also meets historical people like Rasputin - and author Jack London, whom my own father’s uncle have met in Alaska. The stories are often dreamy and mysterious and are all, somehow, connected to each other.
If you don’t know Corto Maltese, please check him out.
