Synopsis
Corto Maltese meets a drunk named Jeremiah Steiner. Steiner accompanies Corto to Corto's boat, where Steiner falls asleep. At Madame Java's, Corto is introduced to Tristan Bantam, who asks him for help looking for the legendary Mu, following in his father's footsteps. As they're talking an attacker tries to kill Tristan. Corto manages to foil the attack and finds an address on the attacker's body. He discovers that Tristan's guardian, the lawyer Milner, is behind the attack. Corto, Tristan, and Professor Steiner decide to look for Tristan's sister.
Notes
Under the Sign of Capricorn collects the first cycle of inter-connected short Corto Maltese stories created by Hugo Pratt in the early 1970s in France. The cycle includes six episodes: "The Secret of Tristan Bantam", "Rendez-vous in Bahia", "Sureshot Samba", "The Brazilian Eagle", "So Much for Gentlemen of Fortune", and "The Seagull's Fault". The episodes are set in South America and the Caribbean during the years 1916 and 1917.
The French name of the cycle is "Sous le signe du Capricorne".
Translated from Pratt's original Italian scripts.
This volume was the first published volume in IDW's series, followed by volumes 4-11, then 1-2, and finally 12.
