Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Isaac is a struggling but gifted painter in pre-revolutionary France. With pressing financial troubles and a strong-minded fiancee, he takes a temporary job as a naval painter on a ship delivering supplies to the New World. This is the simple beginning to a not-so-simple tale, for things are not quite what they seem. The boat is not out on a short cruise, but a lengthy and dangerous expedition led by Captain John the Pillager, a successful and charismatic pirate possessed by a touch of madness to rival Herman Melville's Ahab. WINNER OF THE 2002 ALPH ART AWARD FOR 'BEST GRAPHIC ALBUM' at the Angouleme Festival in France. A triumph--Booklist
