<b>Magnificent </b>illustrations… [Hayes] has done a <b>wondrous </b>job… his visual narrative has an intense, restless pace… <b>here is a ribald beauty you find only rarely between two covers.</b>
- Rachel Cooke, The Observer
At once phantasmagorical and bewitching…<b> the best of his career so far.</b>
Bookmunch
Hayes’s green-filtered, stylised illustrations have a <b>breathtaking </b>punch to them.
- Teddy Jamieson, Herald Scotland
The Drunken Sailor is an Impressionist hymn to Rimbaud. But Hayes' song is greatly embellished with knowledge... You run the gamut when you read this book.
Bookmunch
A bewitching work from one of Britain’s finest graphic novelists.
