    Corto Maltese TPB (2026 FB) Fable of Venice and Other Adventures 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing. Story and art by Hugo Pratt. Artist Hugo Pratts most famous creation, the indefatigable sailor Corto Maltese, sails back to American readers after a far too-long absence in Corto Maltese: Fable of Venice and Other Adventures. Corto, a modern Ulysses whose wanderings in the early decades of the 20th century take him to the most fascinating places on Earth, is a hard-luck, hard-driving iconoclastic anti-hero who values freedom and independence more than wealth and status. In Fable of Venice, a riddle from a deceased friend plunges Corto into a phantasmagorical mystery thriller that zigzags between the solidity of dreams and the fluidity of reality. A frantic chase in 1921 Venice ensues, up twisting stairs and down tangled alleys, as Corto vies against Freemasons, occultists, budding fascists, and his friend (suddenly back from the dead) in a mad scramble to secure a mystical emerald that will open the doors of forbidden magic and unravel time and space itself! In addition, this collection of quintessential seafaring adventures also presents the Corto Maltese classics The Secret of Tristan Bantam, So Much for Gentlemen of Fortune, and The Seagull's Fault, making this book an exciting introduction to Pratts work. Softcover, 7 1/2-in. x 10-in., 132 pages, B/&W. Mature Readers Cover price $19.99.

    Merchant of Venice GN (2008 Candlewick Press) 1-1ST

    Candlewick Press Edition - 1st printing. Based on the story by William Shakespeare. Adapted by Gareth Hinds. With elegant, contemporary artwork and a faithful, but succinct adaptation, Gareth Hinds (Beowulf) casts Shakspeare's classic drama in a provocative new light. Young Bassanio, wishing to win the love of the fair Portia, entangles his dearest friend, Antonio, in a dangerous bargain with the moneylender Shylock. Only Bassanio's heartfelt efforts - and a clever intervention by Portia - will save Antonio from paying Shylock "a pound of flesh." Suitable for both students and scholars, Hinds' adaptation maintains the language of Shakespeare's play and offers context for the play's controversial aspects with an afterword that both illuminates the process of adaptation and further reading to place Shakespeare in context. Moody and mesmerizing, this graphic novel adaptation of one of Shakespeare's most controversial plays boasts a chic modern cast, high drama, and all the dark, familiar beauty of Venice. Softcover, 74 pages, PC. Cover price $11.99.
