Jean d'Armor

Jean d'Armor is a stowaway on the yacht of archeologist Charles Derval who is searching for the lost continent of Atlantis in the Sargasso Sea. They eventually discover Atlantis, hidden behind an invisibility field, and help the peace-loving Atlanteans defeat the bellicose Outrophedons and their evil Queen.
