If there's anyone reading this who has yet to experience any part of Hugo Pratt's magnum opus, Corto Maltese, Fantagraphics is providing you with a budget-priced entry point to this world of comics high adventure that is the ne plus ultra of European heroic fantasy. (And, by coincidence (or not) "Fable of Venice" happens to have been first published at roughly the same time as Fantagraphics was getting started, fifty years ago...)
