This black & white edition is limited to 4000 copies. It contains all four albums in the series in a very large format (34.3 × 26.7 cm) in black and white as well as a magnificent color plate by Mathieu Lauffray. A dust jacket reproducing the cover accompanies the book.

Directed by Xavier Dorison and Mathieu Lauffray, "Long John Silver" is inspired by the famous and fearsome pirate created by Robert Lewis Stevenson in "Treasure Island". In this adventure told in four albums, the series has established itself as a modern classic.

Mathieu Lauffray, while proficient with the computer, for his return to comics, chose to create all of these pages by hand and employed a bolder, brawnier style reminiscent of John Buscema.
