Big Boss #51
In "Les bêtes du monde pétrifié !", Frank, Red, and Dave face a strange new challenge when their platinum mining operation in Thailand leads them to an ancient Siamese temple and a mysterious idol of Bokhara, said to control the region’s climate through a platinum wand. With the wand left unguarded and the legend whispering of ancient power, the trio’s quest for riches takes a turn into the unknown—no matter how carefully they plan, something in the temple might not stay buried. The story unfolds with art by Howard Purcell, and the cover by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff captures the eerie stillness of the temple’s secrets.
