'The Moonsters' by Bill Ritchie was
the story of Penny and Peter Pleasant who were visiting a space travel show
when Peter's sticky fingers led to a space ship taking off with Peter and
Penny inside. The back page of Issue two of saw Peter and Penny land on the
moon where they met 'The Moonsters' who cried "Gosh, look at those funny
Earth folk". The popularity of the strip soon led to 'The Moonsters'
becoming front page stars.
