| I loved the story about King Midas. It's a great reminder that gold (money) is not everything. We should all read this story repeatedly. Rohi |
|
| Is page 29 the artist Dave Berg of MAD fame? |
|
| Yes. Berg did work for a few companies, Archie for certain. He also worked for comic book packagers Demby Studio and the Will Eisner Studio. |
|
| Very interesting! Although I've read almost all of MAD, I wouldn't have recognized Dave Berg by his drawing style for Fairy Tales comics. |
