'''''Corto Maltese''''' is a graphic novel series by Hugo Pratt, and one of the most famous examples of the [[French Belgian Comic Books|French-Belgian comics school]] at its best (even though the author was actually Italian).
The title character is a fictional adventurer active during the years before, during and after [[WW 1]]. Born of a sailor from Cornwall and a fortune-teller from Gibraltar, Corto Maltese has a lifelong case of wanderlust and travels across the world as a gentleman of fortune, treasure seeker and occasional pirate. His recurring sidekick is a psychopathic Russian named Rasputin (who coincidentally [[Celebrity Resemblance|does look like the historical Rasputin]]).
Line 10:
If you've never read the comics but the name sounds familiar, it's because [[Frank Miller]] used the character's name as that of a fictional country in ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]]'', which was in itself given a [[Shout-Out]] in the '89 ''[[Batman (film)|Batman]]'' film.
