Patrizia Zanotti, a close collaborator of Pratt, said there was a high level of respect for Miller and his works by the Corto Maltese creator, who died in 1996.
This is the hero’s journey in its most classic form, and I couldn’t be more honored to help bring into this series the romanticism, heroism, and underlying mysticism of Pratt’s creation.” I have been a Corto Maltese fan ever since. To me it showed off the power of the comic where language is not much of a barrier. Maltese is a rascal who could talk to the gods. It was full of magic and romantic adventure. The artwork was so expressive and so bold that it leapt off the newsprint. “Then on my travels, I studied and discovered an edition at a newsstand in Rome. “I first discovered Corto Maltese reading the books at Forbidden Planet in New York as a young man,” Miller said. He is president/EIC of the imprint, which just published Ronan: Book Two and Ancient Enemies. Miller, who co-directed the first two Sin City films with Robert Rodriguez and whose comics and graphic novels include 300, The Dark Knight Returns Batman: Year One and Daredevil: Born Again, this year launched a new publishing banner, Frank Miller Presents. The lavishly drawn adventure tale melded fantasy with reality as Maltese came in contact with some of the most influential characters from literature – Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, Butch Cassidy - as he crossed seas and oceans. Maltese is a daring sea captain whose adventures took place in the early part of the 20th century.
