clickable text The Green Jet is a re-printed version of the Green Lama, much like Atomaster is a re-printed version of fellow Spark hero, Atoman. An earlier Green Lama story had previously been re-worked with Magga the Magnificent taking the title role. |

Just picked up three more high grade copies of this 1955 American Dairy Association giveaway. Western Publishing. These books are tough to find in high grade due to their poor paper quality. ![]() ![]() |
