Actually for years I had never even seen a page of his work, I did only knew his character, CORTO MALTESE. But, somehow my art, my style and the way I want to tell my stories is much like his own. OK, I know he is a freaking master and I have to be born a hundred times more to draw and to tell stories like him. Even so, different people have said that my work reminds Pratt's. A lie, but a great compliment for the soul.
The first one to say it was Fabio Cobiaco, the greatest of Pratt's disciple.
Cobi, as we call him, is a master him self. Publish comics for decades, knows everyone, and kick ass in any style he chooses to render. A very humble man, he knows how to be a friend and how to tell you what you need to hear to move on.
I wish I could be Cobiaco, to have Hugo Pratt dreams. I wish I could see Hugo like him.
