Max and his obsession on Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese

Pratt’s style for comic his original comic art was characterized by his masterful use of black and white, employing strong contrasts and intricate linework to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. He utilized a combination of hatching, cross-hatching, and shading techniques to bring his illustrations to life. Pratt’s attention to detail on each comic art work, his ability to convey emotions through his characters’ expressions, and his skillful composition contributed to the unique and captivating visual storytelling that made Corto Maltese a beloved and enduring comic book series. Max takes all of this from the artist and create a similar atmosphere on his original comic art creations, being complex and detailed but keeping the same essence that Pratt gave to his well know comic character.
