Original comic art made by Pratt for "Junglemen", page 188 of this long series set in the exotic ocean regions of eastern New Guinea and New Caledonia, published for the first time in 1950 in the Argentine weekly Salgari and later reassembled by Pratt himself (during his stay in Argentina) for the pages of the weekly Misterix n. 748 of 1963. In Italy it was published in the magazine Sgt. Kirk between 1968 and 1969. A true choral novel in images born from the genius of Alberto Ongaro and the pen of Dino Battaglia (who drew the first 25 comic strips for the Uragano albums) and subsequently taken up and shaped by a young Hugo Pratt, becoming for him an important starting point for his brilliant career. << It's the most beautiful story I remember in comics, so important that it influenced many other adventures. >> (H. Pratt).
