Howard - Dirty Fred, the Skipper

Smiling Jim was going back to the bar where he spent a lovely evening beating two dozen men unconscious. He forgot his knife in a sailor. Said sailor was alive and kicking and offered Jimmy a job aboard a luxury cruiser. There the young master criminal has to deal with murder mystery, mass hysteria, and sleeping on the job. Later - as it so often happens to heroes of epic novels - he meets the prince of an island nation who wishes to switch roles with him for a day. From there one storyline follows the adventures of the young prince in the Singapore underworld after he is sold into slavery for two and a half dollars (which seems like a bargain price for undercover royalty). The other consists of the journals of his quasi-illiterate grace, king Smiling de James, the first of his name. Their quests are haunted by the mysterious living legend of the seas, Captain Dirty Fred, whose fiendishly clever schemes will decide the fate of both the prince and the pauper...

Luc Orient

Luc Orient is a Belgian science fiction comic series featuring an eponymous hero, created in 1967 by the writer Greg and the artist Eddy Paape. It belongs to the large family of Franco-Belgian comics.
Luc Orient was originally serialized in the weekly Tintin magazine starting on January 7, 1967. It was one of the several series simultaneously launched by then-editor Greg to give the magazine a needed facelift. Luc Orient's adventures were then collected as a series of graphic novels by Éditions du Lombard, starting in 1969.
The series continued regularly with one or two volumes per year until episode 13, L'enclume de la foudre was released in 1978. After Tintin ceased publication in 1978 (following several name changes), the later episodes were released sporadically.The series was to be reprinted in an omnibus edition, two volumes in one, by Pictoris Studio, under the title L'intégrale de Luc Orient; but only three tomes (i.e. the first six volumes) ever appeared, between 1998 and 1999.
Luc Orient, professor Hugo Kala from Eurocristal laboratory and his secretary Lora, share several adventures involving aliens and scientific mysteries. At the beginning, the trio discovers a stranded spaceship with a hibernating alien crew; professor Kala's arrival brings hope to the refugees from the planet Terango (Episodes 1-2). They then travel to Terango to thwart the evil tyrant Sectan who plots to invade Earth (Episodes 3-5). Subsequent adventures involve a series of scientific mysteries. Luc and Lora even acquire temporary superpowers in Episode 6.
