The First World War is looming and the world powers are stalking each other in the southwest Pacific. Between the fronts, the unpredictable Rasputin and Corto Maltese, the captain without a ship, conduct shady business on behalf of a mysterious "monk". Basically, they are pirates, but with different morals. Because while Rasputin does not shy away from throwing entire crews to the sharks and taking the young admiral's daughter Pandora Groovesnore hostage, Corto acts according to the motto: "Live and let live." The starting signal for the large, completely retranslated from Italian edition of Hugo Pratt's classic comic. In addition to the regular color edition, there will also be a "Classic Edition" (ISBN 978-3-943808-89-6) with the original black-and-white drawings for the purists among the fans. ComicBook2015New
