Hugo Pratt, hailed as the "inventor of the
literary comic strip," offers an provocative story whose protagonist is a
seemingly wanton murderer, driven by a religious obsession with the absolute.
First English language edition.
Set in Canada
around 1920 this provocative story deals with complex moral choices. Jesuit Joe,
the protagonist, is of French-Canadian and Mohawk origin and is engaged in an
obsessive religious search for the absolute, as he moves through the snowy
wastelands of the region. He wears the red jacket of the Canadian Mounties that
he found in a hut-which gives rise to a series of misunderstandings when
he is mistaken for a member of the Canadian Mounted Police. His actions
highlight his unusual ethical code and his disturbing and complex personality.
He kills with terrible ease and shows an unmatched cruelty and ferocity, yet his
mood suddenly shifts and he performs unexpected acts of kindness and compassion.
All the while, he is tracked by his nemesis, Sergeant Fox, whose mission is to
capture Jesuit Joe and bring him to justice. This is the first English language
edition of Pratt's 1980 classic, and includes an incomplete second story
of Jesuit Joe, plus Pratt's storyboards drawn for the movie
version.

Hugo Pratt (1927-1995) is considered one of the great graphic novelists in the history of the medium. His strips, graphic works, and watercolors have been exhibited at the Grand Palais in Paris and the Vittoriano in Rome, and a landmark show in 2011 at the Pinacotheque in Paris drew 215,000 visitors, hailing Pratt as "the inventor of the literary comic strip."
