I recommend this to any true fan C of comic book storytelling. It’s that good.” O Project-Nerd R “Classic adventure comics for adults, enjoyable but with depth. Strongly recommended.” Library Journal T “Pratt’s tales are like coming home to an entire oeuvre of fables you’ve never known existed but O have always been waiting to read…I can guarantee that Corto Maltese will quickly become one of your most beloved protagonists.” M Alex Mangles, tor.com A “Classic adventure literature of the highest order.” L The New York Journal of Books T “The wordly magic of Hugo Pratt…an Italian masterpiece is coming to America.” Publishers Weekly E S “IDW’s collection brings Pratt’s iconic work to the U.S. without losing any of its heart and soul, and readers should quickly seize this opportunity to experience one of the medium’s great works.” E A.V. Club “These are the lines of a master, bringing you far-flung escapist adventures that take place in the early part of the 20th Century, a romantic world of rogues and scoundrels.” Dan Greenfield, 13th Dimension IN SIBERIA IN “There’s a reason that the EuroComics editions of Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese have been nominated for both the Eisner and Harvey Awards…. Like Under The Sign of Capricorn, Beyond The Windy Isles, and Celtic Tales before it, The Ethiopian transports the reader into a brilliantly crafted world, one in which Pratt continues his incredible blend of Ernest Hemingway and Milton Caniff.” Scoop “Corto Maltese has counted prominent names among its admirers, the recently-departed Umberto Eco perhaps most famously, but all you have to do is read these comics to know that there has never been anything else quite like them.” Joe McCullough, The Comics Journal 7 $29.99 • EuroComics.us • idwpublishing.com EDITED AND DESIGNED BY Dean Mullaney ART DIRECTOR AND CO-COVER DESIGNER Lorraine Turner CONSULTING EDITOR Patrizia Zanotti Lettering font based on hand-lettering by Frank Engli.

Esto implica prestar atención a los factores estructurales, considerando que la historieta nace como parte de la industria cultural y dependiente del campo del mercado. Pero también damos importancia a las prácticas de construcción de los actores que forman parte del campo y que, en determinadas situaciones históricas, introducen modificaciones importantes y momentos de alta autonomía de lo económico. Destacamos el período de la segunda mitad los cincuentas con la aparición de la historieta de autor, la dictadura y la apertura democrática y, desde los noventa, la historieta independiente.

Coordinador i comissari de la mostra Pocs autors han estat tan prop d’unir en un de sol aquests tres conceptes: autor, vida i obra. Aquest és el cas d’Hugo Pratt, a qui Umberto Eco va definir com un dels grans ar- tistes del segle XX, capaç de fer literatura amb el dibuix i dibuixar amb les paraules. Definint a grans trets l’obra de l’autor de Corto Maltés, es podria dir que va realitzar cò- mics que podria llegir el públic adolescent i ser apreciats al mateix temps per un professor universitari. I ho feia amb di- buixos d’una bellesa i tècnica narrativa exuberant, explicant histories cultes, però alhora apassionants i entretingudes. El 1967, abans de crear aquesta joia de la historieta mundial en què s’ha convertit Corto Maltés, Hugo Pratt ja comptava amb tot un món de viatges, aventures i filosofia.I tot aquest bagatge el va utilitzar per a donar vida al marí que es con- vertiria en el seu alter ego.

Oesterheld’s Iconic and Ironic Eternautas Abstract When speaking of Héctor Germán Oesterheld and his Eternautas series of comics, we are speaking of multiple and interlocking levels of icons. Oesterheld first began the historieta [comic] about the time-traveling Juan Salvo, known as the “Eternauta,” in the late 1950s, later revisiting it in the 1960s and 1970s. In the three Eternauta narratives in question,1 a group of intrepid technologically savvy individuals struggle against a deadly phosphorescent snowfall and a series of alien species only to have the news of their local victory obliterated by nuclear devastation and alien treachery. Attempts to avoid this near-future reality for Buenos Aires and/or the reconstruction of the city occupy the later installments of the series.

  • América En Las Historietas De Hugo Pratt / Guzmán Urrero Peña
    América en las historietas de Hugo Pratt Por su talento como narrador y dibujante, pero también por el caudal de rigurosa documentación que emplea en su obra, Hugo Pratt ha sido protagonista de análisis de todo orden. El punto clave para entender ese reconocimiento, aparte de sus facultades artísticas, reside en la consisten­ cia de un personaje, Corto Maltes, hombre de acción, anarquista, caba­ llero de fortuna y aficionado a los saberes heterodoxos. Trazar las rutas de ese nómada se vuelve complejo, pues lo mismo aprecia el paisaje pampeano que las selvas más tupidas. De Bahía a la Patagonia, este hijo tardío de London acaba por descubrir nuevos lugares en los que desen­ tenderse de la modernidad. Pero su creador también alimenta una imagen de hombre de acción semejante a la del héroe de sus relatos. Es posible pensar en una idealización de su biografía, no exenta de riesgos y situa­ ciones asombrosas. Tal vez ello explique las constantes interferencias entre realidad y fantasía detectables en toda la producción dedicada al citado personaje. Hugo Pratt nace en las cercanías de Rimini el 15 de junio de 1927. El padre, Rolando Pratt, es de ascendencia anglosajona, en tanto que su madre, Evelina Genero, pertenece por línea paterna a la familia judía Zeno-Toledano. Entre los ancestros más lejanos del pequeño hay france­ ses, españoles y turcos. Si a ese cosmopolitismo genealógico sumamos la afición de los progenitores por el esoterismo en todas sus manifesta­ ciones, no será difícil descubrir el venero del que más adelante surgirán posteriores argumentos. De la infancia en Venecia quedan los recuerdos de una casa amplia, permanentemente ocupada por algún huésped, y las primeras lecturas, a mitad de camino entre las mitologías europeas y los clásicos de la aventura juvenil.

BALL It could be argued that the most significant development in twenty-first- century global comics emerged from the pages of a regional newspaper in the suburbs of Arhus, on the Jutland Peninsula of Denmark. In September of 2005, the Jyllands-Posten - a newspaper with a circulation of 120,000 readers - solicited representations of the Prophet Mohammed from members of a Danish newspaper illustrators’ union. Published in response to an author’s professed inability to secure an illustrator for a children’s book on the Qur’an, the resulting twelve images were amplified and disseminated digitally, setting off international protests in waves timed to republication efforts in the name of free speech. None of these was more visible than that of the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. Both horrifying violence, first in protests throughout the Muslim-majority world and later directed at the editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo, and the proliferation of images, on all sides of the spectrum from abso­ lutist appeals to free speech to the aniconism of some Muslims, have emerged in the aftermath.
