Behind the scenes

Title panel.
  • This story in many indexes is known with the title "The Necklace of Solomon". However, the actual title "Luck and Wealth" appears in the second strip of the story. Although it could also be argued that this only refers to the events of the following strip, which mentions the luck of Llongo and the wealth of Wambesi. Llongo (and their luck) is not part of the storyline after that.
