Notes
Celtic Tales collects the third cycle of inter-connected short Corto Maltese stories created by Hugo Pratt in the early 1970s in France. The cycle includes six episodes: "The Angel in the Window to the Orient", "Under the Flag of Gold", "Concerto in O' Minor for Harp and Nitroglycerin", "A Mid-Winter Morning's Dream", "Côtes de Nuits and Picardy Roses", and "A Burlesque, or Not, Between Zuydcoote and Bray-Dunes". The episodes are set in Europe during the years 1917 and 1918.
The French name of the cycle is "Les Celtiques".
Translated from Pratt's original Italian scripts.
