| I was very surprised to find a realistic Robinson story (page 27), with drowning sailors and gunfire, in a children's comic book. I really like the advice given to children (page 31), to ask the local city library for the complete Robinson story and other adventure stories. A comic book, that sends children to the city library, I like that. :-) |
