Pratt wrote 12 graphic novels, with one of them, Corto Maltese in Siberia, adapted into a French animated film in 2002. No network or streaming service is set yet, but Studiocanal will fund it.Ĭorto Maltese is the name of a sea captain whose adventures frequently bring him into contact with major historical figures of the early twentieth century, as well as fantasy characters like Merlin. In the heart of violent Manchurian horizons, Corto and Rasputin launch themselves into a fabulous treasure hunt. Now Deadline brings word that the Sin City creator will write and executive produce a six-part TV adaptation. As Corto Maltese returns to Shanghai, he barely gets time to cross paths with his old friend/nemesis Rasputin, and escape a murder attempt before being contacted by members of a Chinese secret organization called 'The Red Lanterns'. Miller and Pratt always had a mutual admiration, with Pratt actually publishing some of Miller’s work in 1988. The name was a reference to a popular Italian series of graphic novels from the ’60s created by Hugo Pratt. If you thought Corto Maltese was just a fictional country invented by Frank Miller for The Dark Knight Returns, Miller himself may soon teach us otherwise.
