Edgar Allan Poe started it with the Missing Treasure map syndrome in his short story "The Old Bug"
Nearly 50 year later Robert Lewis Stevenson wrote "Treasure Island" [still one of my favorite reading books..the only good adaptation was a 1970's cartoon!]
ALways legends of Missing treasure...with the lost Treasure map....The Lost Dutchman Mine of Arizona; The alleged Rommel Treasure of World war II
Milton Cantiff was the cartoonist for over 40 years.....of two popular comics about Fly boy officers....Americans Terry and the Pirates October 22, 1934, to February 25, 1973 and Steave Canyon January 13, 1947, until June 4, 1988. Both were so painfully ethnic sterotyped....it was almost painful to read them te evil asian dragon Lady,,,,the pgeon speaking chinese servant...the 90 year old survivor of Custer 7th cavalry wandering around Asia....
Terry and the Pirates in 1934 a 10 year old american boy finds a treasure map and goes off to asia....for the next 40 years.....
Al CApp did a hilariuos spoof of Steve Canyon in a series called Steve Cantor written by Milton Gontiff [Gontiff is a yiddish word for Thief]}
