Roodbaard

Roodbaard, a three-issue series from Big Balloon (1991–1994), brings the classic swashbuckling adventures of the legendary pirate to a new readership. Scripted by the renowned Jean-Michel Charlier and vividly illustrated by Christian Gaty (credited as Christian Catignol), these comics offer a compact yet spirited slice of high-seas action. Though brief, the series stands as a late-career highlight for Charlier, showcasing his mastery of adventure storytelling in a distinctive European comic tradition.
