Synopsis
The action begins in November 1913 in the South Seas as feelings of the Great War were already looming but the romantic ideals of the nineteenth century were still alive. The pace of the narrative and the drawings are very modern and Pratt permeates the adventure with an extraordinary atmosphere of the great outdoors. This long story includes several characters, including the young and beautiful Pandora, her cousin Cain, the mysterious criminal mastermind Monk, the grim and ferocious Rasputin, Lieutenant Slütter of the German Navy, the natives Skull and Tarao, and Corto Maltese.
Notes
The Ballad of the Salty Sea is the story where Hugo Pratt introduced his character Corto Maltese. First published 1967-1969 in Italy as "Una Ballata del Mare Salato". Translated from Pratt's original Italian scripts.
