Sultan bin Saif II succeeded his father, Saif bin Sultan, when he died in 1711. He established his capital at Al-Hazm on the road from Rustaq to the coast. Now just a village, there still are remains of a great fortress that he built there around 1710, which contains his tomb.

When Sultan bin Saif II died in 1718, his popular twelve-year-old son Saif bin Sultan II was nominal successor.

Jijé was Dupuis' jack-of-all-trades, and had already authored a few custom-made pages for Red Ryder during World War II, when the political climate disrupted the availability of the American originals. According to the artist's son, however, his love of the Western genre was sincere and, among his diverse output, Jerry Spring was most representative of his personal affinities. The replacement of Red Ryder by Jerry Spring marked the end of American comics in Spirou, which from now on would be fully based on homegrown material.
