CSN #2042

The cover story heads Back Into the Arks, while a second feature follows Robin Hood's Sherwood heist, where something is being stolen from Prince John and nobody knows what it is. Another look back remembers the fast food era of free comics, when a kid could walk out of a Pizza Hut booth with a mutant comic and a personal pan.
