I'm sure everyone either has a copy of this comic book or has seen it at some point. If you haven't, well, this post is for you. This is a complimentary comic book that was given out at the Universe of Energy in the 1980s. It is pure propaganda for Exxon and fossil fuels, and... Continue Reading →
Related to the previous post, here's a picture of Doug McClure as the "Star of the Day" at Disney-MGM Studios in 1989.
