5.0 out of 5 stars As good as "Indian Summer". great story, great drawing, February 1, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: El Gaucho (Paperback)
I think Pratt and Manara are the Italian dream-team of comics. The detailed but light drawing style of Manara fits perfectly Pratt's great historic pieces. I wish Pratt was alive to complete a trilogy that started with Indian Summer and continued with el Gaucho.

3.0 out of 5 stars Oridnary colonial soldiers story, September 29, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: El Gaucho (Paperback)
If you expect a book about sex and people, this ain't it. This is pretty much just a story about soldiers in the wooden ships and muskets age, with some women thrown in for bonadage slave sentiment, with a few sex scenes - those mostly sordid. The art is okay. See his other titles for truely sexy books - Gullevera is a quick, neat, sexy, fairly clean romp for adults who like naked women but also enjoy women who aren't always naked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Manara paint the legacy of Pratt, April 28, 2000
By 
This review is from: El Gaucho (Paperback)
Milo Manara is one of the greatest italian artist. He is a famous illustrator and his fine touch can transform simple pieces of paper into sweet and fantastic dreams. But with Hugo Pratt you can see the real Manara, his love for history and adventures, for poetry and prose, for every kind of art. Don't miss this masterpiece!
