Le Vieux Nick et Barbe-Noire (literally Old Nick and Blackbeard; formerly Le Vieux Nick) is a Belgian comics series by Marcel Remacle.

Protagonists

  • Old Nick, an old sailor. Despite his sickly appearance, his is very fit. A cunning character, he uses his wits and trickery to overcome his enemies, most of the time.
  • Blackbeard, Old Nick's main foe. Though dreaded by many, he is dumb by nature.
  • Grandpa, the grandpa of Blackbeard. He has a tendency to slap his grandson. He relies on the use of a walking stick to enable him to walk.
  • Sebastian, a harpooner. He was discovered in a wrecked ship by Old Nick.
