Raise a glass to the story of four of the greatest actors-and boozers-of all time: Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O-Toole, and Oliver Reed. This inventive graphic work seamlessly weaves their four biographies into one fast-paced adventure of drunken binges, orgies, parties, and fun. The story begins at a London pub one sorry Christmas and is told through the eyes of Martin, a wannabe hellraiser sitting at the end of the bar alone, drinking himself into oblivion. He-s joined in turn by Burton, Harris, Reed, and O-Toole, who take Martin on tours of their tumultuous childhoods, rises to stardom, and chaotic personal lives.

-A savage sock in the jaw to polite, reverential biographical graphic novels, these hilariously bleak shock tales make the modern-day antics of Lindsay Lohan look like Dr. Seuss.- -Publishers Weekly
-In the hands of less talented creators, this book would be a boring mess. But it-s the exact opposite.- -Boing Boing
