Yes i do remember reading that...... I must admit I was quite taken aback when i came across the statues... to see a life size comic book character ( and later film star )... the other people from the ship thought I was mad..... as they had no idea who they were....... And a copy of the photo is in the lounge at home..... Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
