Le Fantôme #132

In "L'astronaute et les pirates," a stranded space pilot becomes a pawn in a high-stakes game when his capsule crashes near Bengala and he's captured by a band of pirates demanding ransom. With the help of the Wambesi chief, The Phantom moves in silently, navigating the dangers of the sea and the pirate ship to free Colonel Nelson before it's too late.

In "L'émissaire masqué," The Phantom, acting under a U.N. mandate, confronts Bababu, the tyrannical usurper who has seized power from the rightful Dr. Luaga. With the local chiefs demanding a trial by combat between the two, the scholarly Luaga—seemingly outmatched—must face Bababu, unaware of the hidden skill that could turn the tide.
