from "The World's Greatest Gold Strike" in Real Fact Comics #15 (DC, July 1948); script by Jack Schiff, Mort Weisinger, and Bernie Breslauer; pencils and inks by Howard Sherman
By the way, check out the splash panel for this story, which is one of the greatest symbolic panels of all time!
It's true, gold fever can be a mighty ornery thing that gets into your brain and makes even the most sane man go mad. Witness other comic book characters caught up in the Gold Rush or a Gold Rush...like Batman!
from "The Gold Rush Comes to Gotham City!" in Action Comics (1938 series) #133 (DC/National, June 1949), script by John Broome, pencils and inks by Dan Barry
Oh wait, this comic story is set in Gotham City, but it doesnt involve Batman? Isn't that against the law of comics or somthing?
All's well that ends well as Vigilante dashes the sweet hopes and dreams of hundreds of townspeople, and as the shopkeepers who sold them shovels and picks and pans at a huge markup stealthily skulk out of town...
What the shopkeepers didn't sell them were Columbia Bikes! So here's Daydream Mike, that slacker, to do exactly that!

And with that, let us leave the fabled Gold Rush.
from Fantastic Four Annual #11 (Marvel, June 1976), script by Roy Thomaa, pencils by John Buscema, inks by Sam Grainger, colors by Phil Rachelson, letters by Irv Watanabe
