A-V is proud to present, at long last, Jaka's Story, the Remastered Edition, fully-restored page-by-page from the origi NAl art boards.

This new edition, painstakingly restored and printed on acid-free paper with a durable sewn binding, reveals astounding detail never before present outside of the origi NAl art itself. This volume also includes eight brand-new pages of extras, including a 6,000-word essay by restorer and critic Sean Michael Robinson, discussing the background and "secret origins" of the book, providing historical context for a whole new generation of readers.

CORTO MALTESE GN IN SIBERIA

(W) Hugo Pratt (A) Hugo Pratt (CA) Hugo Pratt

With this book Hugo Pratt leaves behind the short story form he'd used for 21 interrelated tales and presents a truly epic graphic novel. In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and the First World War, Corto Maltese is engaged by the Red Lanterns-a Chinese secret society made up entirely of women-to find an armored train laden with gold that belonged to the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II. They aren't the only ones lusting after the treasure. The adventure, which shifts from the hidden courts of Venice to the mysterious alleys of Hong Kong, from Shanghai to Manchuria and Mongolia to Siberia, also attracts regular and irregular armies, as well as revolutio NAries and counter-revolutio NAries.

CORTO MALTESE GN TANGO

(W) Hugo Pratt (A) Hugo Pratt (CA) Hugo Pratt

In 1923 Buenos Aires, while searching for a missing friend, Corto finds himself locked in a dangerous, yet elegant, game of cat and mouse. Before long, his investigation brings him up against an organized crime syndicate known as the "Warsavia" and their underworld network.   Just as Fable of Venice was Pratt's homage to his hometown, Tango is a nod to Buenos Aires, where the cartoonist lived during his earliest creative successes in the late 1940s and 1950s. The atmosphere of the story is steeped in the sensual music of the tango, whose melodies almost seem to emerge from the artwork, with close-ups of the dance steps framed by Pratt with extraordi NAry effectiveness. The first English-language translation of Hugo Pratt's graphic novel set in Argenti NA.
