Running for 28 issues between 1961 and 1974, the series is most strongly associated with writer Jean-Michel Charlier and artist Victor Hubinon, who together shaped its swashbuckling tone and detailed, cinematic visuals. Its enduring popularity helped define the European adventure comic tradition, blending historical fiction with high-seas action.
