Big Boy #41

In "Marionnettes humaines," four stranded fishermen find themselves under the control of an alien force after their boat washes ashore on a mysterious island. As their wills are subverted, they become puppets dancing to an unseen master’s commands—trapped in a nightmare where freedom is a memory.

In "La Malédiction du dieu de feu," Pete Marek flees with a million dollars, only to find himself trapped in the Peruvian jungle where a festival to the Fire God warns him of deadly consequences for trespassing. As he battles blazing paths and crumbling bridges, every escape route seems to ignite—until the sun’s glare through his glasses becomes the final, unexpected spark.

In "Secret du chasseur magique," an explorer uncovering ancient caves in Africa stumbles upon mysterious wall paintings and a gourd of herbs, revealing a ritual that promises to manifest any desired outcome—so long as a damp hand is pressed to a drawn image and left to turn green. But with such power comes the ever-present risk of those who would twist it for their own ends.
