Mark your calendars for March 13th 2012 because Corto Maltese: The Ballad Of The Salt Sea will be hitting North American bookshelves in English.
Corto Maltese: The Ballad of the Salt Sea is sure to appeal to fans of swashbuckling action-packed tales and sophisticated readers seeking elegant stories alike.
Rizzoli New York through their Universe imprint has picked up the gauntlet and will be bringing English-speaking readers the first Corto work since 1987. It’s $25 and in paperback; no page count listed. Unfortunately it’s 6×9″ so we won’t be able to enjoy the art in its original format.
Rizzoli’s site says that it will be 256 pages.
Thanks: do you have the link to that? It doesn’t state page count on the page I linked to above from Rizzoli USA.
Found it: page 46 of their Spring 2012 Catalog.
