Information
pencil and ink on Doubletone thin cardboard
30 x 45 cm
Complete story consisting of 3 original comic arts made by Bonvi as a tribute to Pratt and his Corto Maltese, first published in the volume "Dedicated to Corto Maltese," edited by Vincenzo Mollica and published by Editori del Grifo in 1981. In 1967, with "Una ballata del mare salato," Pratt sealed the birth of his immortal Corto Maltese, but at the same time decided to pay homage to his close friend Bonvi (who would be his best man at his wedding) by giving the German naval officer Christian Slutter the likeness of his Bolognese friend. Fourteen years later, Bonvi decided to return the favor by depicting Corto's final moments in a moving and poetic exchange between two international volunteers on the Aragonese front during the Spanish Civil War: George Orwell and Slutter's brother (who was shot in the Ballad). Signed and dated on the last page.
