Corto Maltese – Sous le signe du Capricorne Turkish Comic Turkey

Corto Maltese – “Oğlak Burcu Altında” (Turkish Edition, Dost Kitabevi, First Edition)

Description:

This comic book is part of the Corto Maltese series published in Turkey by Dost Kitabevi between 1999 and 2004. During this period, Dost Kitabevi released a total of ten Corto Maltese volumes in large-format editions, distinct from later Turkish publications in both size and visual presentation.

“Oğlak Burcu Altında” is the Turkish edition of Sous le signe du Capricorne and was released as a first edition within this publication line. Like the other Dost Kitabevi volumes, this edition is printed in black and white and in large format, emphasizing Hugo Pratt’s original line art and atmospheric storytelling.

The story is set in the Caribbean and Central America and reflects Corto Maltese’s early adventures, blending piracy, colonial power struggles, personal honor, and mythic symbolism. The narrative carries a darker and more introspective tone, showcasing the philosophical depth and literary quality that define the Corto Maltese series.

Due to its large-format design, black-and-white printing, and limited Turkish print run, this edition is especially sought after by collectors who favor classic presentations of Hugo Pratt’s work.
