Portrait d'un buveur

Guy is a pirate, and of the worst (the real!) kind: without a soul, without moral, without balls. An obscure crew member, a liar as he breathes, drunkard, thief, lazy. Far from literary myths or cinema images, Guy is a real gallows fowl, a horrible specimen that no one speaks of not the history books and yet comes closer to the figure truth of the pirate than its ersatz usually widespread in the culture. And Guy tells us his story, his terrible and tedious poetry between fights, fighting and drinking, chasing skirts, rolling under tables and slitting necks. Yo ho, and a bottle of rum! You know pirates their Hollywood version or Stevenson's maritime epics? Forget these images. Ruppert and Mulot, figureheads of independent comics contemporary, join forces with their Flemish counterpart Olivier Schrauwen to draw red bullets on the codes of the genre. This psychedelic, colorful story and in derision, brings together the greatest plastic and narrative qualities of these three buccaneers from the strip. A treasure trove of black humor.
