It's the milestone 50th color issue of Gold Digger! Combined with the 50-issue black- and-white series, this makes it the 100th issue of the regular Gold Digger series! How many independent comics can claim that? We know we feel like celebrating, and we're doing it with two covers, a special 100th issue cover in addition to the regular cover! Congratulations, Fred Perry! Julia promotes Gar to "Advanced Student," and Luan and Carla plan a celebration until they realize that now he must leave for a year-long solo "Journey." Unable to deal with her conflicting emotions over Gar's good fortune versus his departure, Luan grows increasingly hostile, which Gar makes worse by pulling rank!
