Synopsis
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. He urinates on bar counters and vomits in ladies' restrooms. All of which makes him more like the real gallows fodder that haunted the seven seas in the 18th century than the swashbuckling Hollywood heroes that grace most contemporary pirate narritives. 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- bright colours, grand battles, and plenty of gallows humour in this tour the force of black comedy. Portrait of a Drunk is also an international event in modern comics, pairing up three contemporary masters for the first time: Belgian comics master Olivier Schrauwen and the acclaimed French duo Ruppert and Mulot.
