The Manara Library, Vol. 3: Trip to Tulum and Other Stories

"The Paper man and Indian summer are both set in colonial America. This is not the American frontier as it actually existed (fact-based though Hugo Pratt's novel obviously is). This is, instead, a mythic West, a wonderland, different from the grit and grime of real-life history. This mythic West is a scary place, to be sure, but it is suffused with romance"--Dust jacket, v. 1.
