Corto Maltese is back with ‘Tarowean’s Day’ all over the world

Inspired by Hugo Pratt work 

Written by: Juan Díaz Canales
Drawn by:  Rubén Pellejero

November 1st is Tarowean’s day, or, the day of surprises. Just like that, the surprise arrives on the first of November with the publication of the next of Corto Maltese’s adventures, drawn and written by Ruben Pellejero and Juan Diaz Canales.

The new story, the third realized by the two Spanish authors after Hugo Pratt’s death, is the prequel to “The Ballad of the Salty Sea.” “Tarowean’s Day” concludes with the iconic image of Corto tied to the raft, right where his millions of fans discovered him for the first time in 1967.

The ingredients found in the story remain the classical ones. In it we find the Pacific Ocean between the Borneo and New Caledonia, with its waves and its silences, we find a prince chased from his own island who lost his memory and his freedom, we find the Monk who will always remain the ruthless sovereign of his faithful subjects, we find a “girl from Amsterdam” who lost the use of her legs and now resembles a seductress siren, we undoubtedly find Rasputin who will take care of his own interests and profits with the honest cynicism of a good rogue.

Mixed between charming women and propitiatory rites, we find the star in question: Corto Maltese, who will even reach the point of getting engaged to a good woman wrongfully accused of a crime. Corto will not end up at the altar, as per the sailor’s contract and that of free citizen of the world, however, he will save the girl from an atrocious end. And just as everything seems to have turned out for the better, with a prince ready to step back onto his throne, Corto will have to face the mutiny of his ship’s crew, leading to his jump into the Pacific and onto the raft.

The storm of the day of surprises will be, from what can be foreseen, swept by naval mutinies, islands and tyrants, and ambitious monks. Rasputin, along with Pandora and Cain, will then arrive to save him, but this is yet another story.

Grece / ΚOΡΤΟ ΜΑΛΤEΖΕ – H MEΡΑ ΤΗΣ ΤΑΡΟΒΕAΝ

Εμπνευσμένο από το έργο του Hugo pratt

σενάριο: Juan Díaz Canales
σχέδια: Rubén Pellejero

Aπό τότε που εκδόθηκε Η Μπαλάντα Της Αλμυρής Θάλασσας, εκατομμύρια αναγνώστες σε όλο τον κόσμο αναρωτιούνται υπό ποιες συνθήκες κατέληξε ο Κόρτο Μαλτέζε δεμένος σε μια σχεδία, στο έλεος των κυμάτων, κοντά στη νήσο «Εσκοντίδα». Τι έγκλημα μπορεί να διέπραξε για να βρεθεί σε τέτοια κατάσταση; Τι ρόλο παίζουν ο «Μοναχός» και ο Ρασπούτιν σ’ αυτή την περιπέτεια; Η Μέρα Της Ταροβεάν μας αποκαλύπτει επιτέλους το πιο διαβόητο μυστήριο του Ειρηνικού. 

Ο Juan Díaz Canales (δημιουργός του ιδιωτικού ντετέκτιβ Blacksad, τιμήθηκε με το Εθνικό Βραβείο Κόμικς της Ισπανίας το 2014 για το Blacksad: Amarillo, το πέμπτο βιβλίο της σειράς) και ο Rubén Pellejero (σκιτσογράφος του Dieter Lumpen – Οι Περιπέτειες Του Dieter Lumpen) μας αποκαλύπτουν στη νέα αυτή περιπέτεια ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα αινίγματα του χαρισματικού ναυτικού, που δημιούργησε το 1967 ο Ούγκο Πρατ.
