Notes

Original printing

  • "27 h prisonniers sous la mer", Le Journal de Tintin, 22nd January 1985[1]
    • French issue number: NT489[2]
    • Belgian issue number: TB04/85[3]

As with other From the Fact Files stories, this comic was produced for the long-running Franco-Belgian magazine Le Journal de Tintin. No personnel are credited by Marvel UK, though the first and final pages retain the signature of Mister Kit, a pen name of Belgian artist and model maker Gill Van Dessel. The original title can be translated to "27-hour prisoners under the sea".

"Trapped Beneath the Waves!" appeared in The Transformers issue 15, translated and re-lettered by unknown parties – though the work resembles that of Richard Starkings, who also lettered "The Enemy Within!"  in this issue. The contents page refers to this reprint as "From the Transformers Fact Files", while the actual opening page has "A Tale from the Transformers Fact Files".
