Comment
From the second L´ Ombra story (1965), page 10. Story by Alberto Ongaro. These underwater panels give pointers to Pratt´ s next big project, The Ballad of the Salt Sea. Have a look at the third panel, for example. This page is colored on the back, in fifties and sixties Italian-style. Since the whole page takes place in and under water, however, the back is a rather monochromatic blue.
L´ Ombra is published in several editions in Italy and France but unfortunately never in English.

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.
