Description:

On the occasion of the 37th edition of the Barcelona Ficomic Comic, you can see the exhibition The new adventures of Corto Maltés in the museum's educArt space, which includes originals from the pages of the new Corto Maltés, a character created by Hugo Pratt in 1967 - never before exposed in Barcelona-, notes and sketches of the two books developed by the cartoonist Rubén Pellejero and the screenwriter Juan Díaz Canales: Under the Midnight Sun (2015) and Equatoria (2017), accompanied by texts by Antoni Guiral and Paco Linares.

Corto Maltés is a reference in the comic strip for adults around the world, a character closely related to the history of the first thirty years of the 20th century, which brings a reflection and a very personal vision of events that changed the world. The show includes this new Corto Maltés that Rubén Pellejero and Juan Díaz Canales have been able to recreate 20 years after the death of its author, adding a personal tone to his new deliveries.

This sample has been possible thanks to Cong S.A. Suïssa, which manages the rights of Hugo Pratt, Juan Díaz Canales and Rubén Pellejero and NORMA EDITORIAL (publisher of Corto Maltés in Spain), in co-production with Ficomic and the Museu Nacional.
