| First appearance of Samson's boy sidekick, David. It must have been a big deal because the rest of the stories became better than normal because of that. |
|
| So Samson deals with the dangerous Lucon gas by smashing open the gas tanks...thus releasing the gas? Not so smart. |
|
|
|
| Thanks for the great scan. It's hard to decide who's the bigger violent lunatic, Samson or Stardust! |
