Big Boss #29
In "L'attaque des démons du pétrole," Roy Raymond ventures into the depths of a mysterious underground sea, drawn by a local legend warning that diving too deep turns a man into a fish. As he films two failed attempts—each ending with a strange cloud and a transformed fish—Roy decides to test the myth himself. What follows is a surreal plunge into the whale that holds the real secret: a hidden treasure beneath the lake bed, protected by a cleverly staged myth. Penciled and inked by Amilcar Ruben Moreira, with a striking cover by Sid Greene, this 1976 issue blends eerie folklore with a twist of treasure-hunting intrigue.

A legend warns that if a person swims too deep in the underground sea, he'll turn into a fish. Roy Raymond films the attempts of two citizens to disprove the legend for Impossible but True, but in both cases, a strange underwater cloud covers them. They disappear, and a fish appears in their place. Noticing a whale amongst all other ocean life, Roy decides to give it a try. Though Roy disappears and a fish appears in his place, he has actually gone inside the whale and found the men behind the scam. The legend was a ploy to scare people away from the lake bed, which is covered with treasure.
