Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Portrait of a Drunk is a story told in two allegorical parts: The Blowout and the Hangover. Guy the pirate brings together the key narrative and pictorial elements of the great tales of the sea - brings colours, grand battles, and plenty of gallows humour in this tour de force of black comedy. It is also an international event in comics, bringing together three contemporary titans in the field: Belgian comics master Olivier Schrauwen and the French duo Ruppert & Mulot.
"Originally published in France by Dupuis (www.dupuis.com) as Portrait d'un buveur (2019)"--Colophon.
"Guy is no master mariner, with a clipped red (or black) beard. He's just an ordinary member of the crew - able enough, but also a lazy, cowardly liar, a drunkard, and a thief. His story is told in two allegorical parts: 'The Blowout' and 'The Hangover.' Three contemporary comics titans, Belgian Olivier Schrauwen (Parallel Lives) and the French duo Ruppert and Mulot (The Perineum Technique) collaborate to bring you the best pictorial and narrative elements of the great tales of the sea - bright colors, grand battles, gallows humor - in this tour de force of black comedy."--Provided by publisher.
