Long John Silver

In this French comic series from Edições Asa/Público, artist Mathieu Lauffray brings a gritty, atmospheric vision to the classic pirate mythos, following an aging, cunning Long John Silver through a treacherous new adventure. Launched in 2021, the four-issue run leans into Lauffray’s lush, detailed artwork to evoke the harsh beauty of the high seas and the moral ambiguities of its legendary antihero. It’s a visually striking, character-driven take that deepens the lore of Treasure Island’s most infamous rogue.
