We Americans have been mining gold deposits on the moon for 47 years, and it's enabled all of us to live like Scrooge McDuck.<br />Right now, we have our sights set on Mars, where our scientists tell us even more gold is to be found.<br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-58561863082763831942016-06-03T08:52:47.822+01:002016-06-03T08:52:47.822+01:00I don't think I've mentioned it before but...I don't think I've mentioned it before but I can't see the title, "Lo!

But then the Devil invented credit cards.<br /><br />I never had any of the comics shown here, but I probably had a Marvel Triple Action that reprinted the Avengers, and I know I had a Marvel Double Feature that reprinted Cap and Fury fighting the android from Them/AIM/whatever.
