Information
pencil and ink on Duotone thin cardboard
30 x 45 cm
Complete story composed of 3 original comic arts made by Bonvi as a tribute to Pratt and his Corto Maltese, published for the first time in the volume "Dedicated to Corto Maltese" edited by Vincenzo Mollica and published by Editori del Grifo in 1981. In 1967 with " A ballad of the salty sea" Pratt seals the birth of his immortal Corto Maltese, but at the same time decides to pay homage to his brotherly friend Bonvi (he will be his best man at the wedding) by giving the German naval officer Christian Slutter the features of his Bolognese friend; fourteen years later Bonvi decides to return the favor by representing the last moments of Corto's life in a moving and poetic exchange of words between two international volunteers on the Aragon front of the Spanish civil war: George Orwell and Slutter's brother (shot in the Ballad). Signed and dated on the last page.
