The real hero of the series is Rick, whose parents were killed in an attack by the red corsair. The red corsair adopts the orphan and raises him.

background
Jean-Michel Charlier wrote the series, which was drawn up by Victor Hubinon . Eddy Paape and Jijé had to step in at short notice to prevent gaps in the appearance of Pilote . When Victor Hubinon dropped the series, Gilles Chaillet was finishing the current album. The successor was Jijé. After his death, Jean-Michel Charlier continued the series with two artists. While Christian Gaty continued the story of Jijé, Patrice Pellerin began an independent adventure in parallel. Jean-Michel Charlier died in 1989. Jean Ollivier ended the unfinished scenario and released another five albums with Christian Gaty. Christian Perrissin wrote the last four albums for Marc Bourgne .
