Fishboy
Fishboy: Denizen of the Deep was a black and white strip appearing the British comic book Buster between 1968 and 1975, written by Scott Goodall and drawn by John Stokes and others. In common with most UK comic books, neither the writer nor artists were credited.
The title character is a British boy who was abandoned on a desert island as a baby and survived as a feral child by learning to breathe underwater and talk to fish and other sea creatures. He also developed webbed fingers and toes which gave him the ability to swim as fast as a motorboat.
The strip follows his adventures as a teenager as he travels the world's oceans searching for his long-lost parents and helping people in trouble.
Goodall also wrote Kid Chameleon for Cor!!, another comic strip featuring a feral boy on a similar quest.
