Comment
Some Pratt fans don´t like L´ Ombra. Me, I think it is brilliant. A mix of Milton Caniff-style chiaroscuro, sixties Pop Art and graphic experimentations with pointers towards his next big project, a certain Ballata del Mare Salato (The Ballad of the Salt Sea). This page 28 from the second story features the hero (an amalgam of James Bond, The Phantom and Pratt´ s and Alberto Ongaro´ s old hero Asso di picche), as well as all the principal and colorful villains: The Admiral, the criminal mastermind, Alice, the treacherous and sexy villainess, and last but not least, Oscar, the murderous, whining and cowardly little robot.

About Hugo Pratt
Hugo Pratt is considered to be one of the greatest among comic artists for his versatile fantasy and use of graphic freedom, and the combination of these factors resulted in very strange stories. In his tales, reality can change into dream and vice-versa, and in this way he took his readers into the strangest lands and even through time. He is thought to be one of the first comic artists to mix literature with adventure. Hugo Pratt has been a great inspiration to comic artists all over the world.
