This was the first issue of the first sub I ever got. I remember how excited I was when it came (anyone who got them back then would remember they came in a brown paper sleeve. Seemed very ominous and adult to me). I had been waiting for it for a month or two, and probably checked the mailbox every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.

Don't you hate that last page where it shows a "mysterious" egg on the moon that has since remained "mysterious"?
