    I read that comics (Mandrake) when I was a kid, like in the seventies. Alien came and stole for 40.000 years of gold. Recycle ftw eh.

      Wouldn’t surprise me that it’s a rehashed comic book idea. It has all the markings of one. I found this which was apparently published in a playboy magazine of all places, not sure if it’s a retelling of the comic book or another rehash of the same idea, but it definitely seems like something that inspired the film.
