The one hundred and thirteenth comic: #427 Corto Maltese in Siberia
With two Corto Maltese comics on the list, it seemed like a good idea to do them back to back. This later comic feels like it meanders a bit less than the previous, but it replaces it by a James Bond style multiple location structure that feels trite, and it's more predictable in a lot of places. It still has a shallow main character, who isn't quite as passive as before, but still feels more like an observer who happens to get into different situations. It just never really got satisfying on this round.
