From the publisher:
All the strength and seduction of the most beautiful female characters in comics
Hugo Pratt, maestro of the 9th art, is particularly famous for his characters with complex and captivating characters. The women who inhabit his books have thus fascinated generations of readers, always escaping the role of simple foil to the hero. In this beautiful book, all the female characters imagined by Hugo Pratt, from Ann of the Jungle to Bouche Dorée, from Pandora to Mohena, invite themselves for a final homage in the form of a wink.

If "behind every great man there is a woman", here are those who accompany the cult figures such as Corto, Koïnsky, Jesuit Joe...
