30 DAYS OF BD- DAY 9: Corto Maltese

Created by Italian comic artist Hugo Pratt, Corto is a sailor, adventurer and captain. He was born without a fate line on his palm, so he carved his own with a knife, determining that his fate was his own to control. Pratt’s attention to historical details and costuming is complimented well by his loose, gestural, and almost fashion drawing-like style.
