SUMMARY:

This dissertation aims to understand how the editorial choices involved in the making of comics in the shape of a book reverberates in the processes of building and receiving the work. Through an analysis of the first three editions of Corto Maltese, by the Italian graphic novelist Hugo Pratt (1927-1995), published in book formats by three publishing houses in their own countries: Mondadori in Italy, Publicness in France, and L&PM in Brazil, the research takes into consideration the specificities of the language of comics and the production processes of the time they were made and aims to investigate the publishing choices and adaptation of the page layouts originally published as magazines and now granting a new sort of materiality to the work. The analysis of the study object takes place inside a transversal perspective that considers the historical and social aspects of production technologies, also involving Comic Studies and History of Book and Publishing. Through a comparative study among the analyzed editions, this research’s goal is to identify the narrative codes and other visual elements, as well as to enable the understanding of ways by which the production technologies affected the decisions made within the book and the publishing context of each country.
