 But the real Morgan died in 1688, and Redbeard's first adventure (album #1) takes place in 1715 — in fact, in album 7, "The Ghost Ship" (1966), Morgan is mentioned as being dead.In later albums by writer Christian Perrissin and artist Marc Bourgne, the character of Redbeard himself also changes dramatically.He gets more greedy, his love for Eric seems to be fading away, he seems to have no honour anymore, and he gets romantically involved with a girl but eventually he shoots her in the arm (which must then be amputated).
