Hugo Pratt drew thousands of pages in Argentina. He drew, went hunting in Patagonia, played and sang in an orchestra under the pseudonym Zbrindolin. He lived there quite relaxed, it can be said bohemian. He stayed in Argentina almost continuously until 1962. In 1949, he went to Argentina with some other colleagues, where he continued his drawing career. He learned their language and experienced his first adventures with women, all of which he would shape into unforgettable comics and stories years later.Īfter returning to Venice in 1945, with Dino Battaglia and Albert Ongar, he published Pikov ace, the first comic comic since World War II in Europe. Earlier adaptations include an Italian TV series in the late ’70s, a 2002 French animated feature, and a French animated series that same year.Īs with all newly announced projects, it is unclear when or where the series will air.During the years spent in Ethiopia, Hugo befriended the indigenous population and the common people. An adaptation of Corto Maltese in Siberia was in the works in 2019, but was later cancelled. The six-part series is the latest attempt to bring Pratt’s mariner to a larger audience. Others involved in the project include executive producers Jemma Rodgers and Silenn Thomas, VFX guru Phil Tippett, and Studiocanal’s Ron Halpern and Francoise Guyonnet.

In a statement, Miller said, “Maltese is a rascal who could talk to the Gods.
