This is the cornerstone of my Planet collection. A very tough issue in any condition, but this one is tied for the highest graded. These early Planets are a true pleasure to hold when they are in pristne condition like this one. I worked on a deal for this book from the prior owner for several months. This one has some good stories. I like the Gale Allen and the Girl Patrol story. The story states that it takes place in the future year "1990". The Marines come in and save the day when Gale an her Girl Patrol get in over their head. I think it is especially funny/iroic that the last panel in this story shows the Head Marine scolding Gale, " If we (Marines) hadn't been here to save you, there wouldn't be a Girl Patrol left. Gale, let this be a lesson to you that women need to stay home where they should be!".

I purchased this book from Metropolis Comics. It has a great robot filled cover. On many fiction house titles, the cover colors from one issue to the next can vary greatly. Two issues of the exact same issue could look vastly different due to the print quality of the color. Some seem "washed out". This is not the case with this book. The colors are bold, strong, and bright. Planets are tough in high grade, early planets are increasingly tough to find in this state of preservation. I enjoy looking at this book. On a side note, I have a 6 year old daughter, and this is her favorite book that "we" own bcause it has pink robots on the cover.

This one is a Rockford pedigree that I won in a Comiclink auction. It is in superb condition except for a "ink splot" near the edge on the upper right side of the book. The color contrasts on the book's cover is great. The electric rays that are coming out of the green beings' eyes has always been a mystery to me. It is coming out to harm? Is it coming out to intimidate? Is it coming out to sense it's surroundings? We might never know especially since Planet covers rarely have any implication to an internal story. Fun book to own.

This book has a great undescribeable appeal to it when holding it. It is in wonderful shape. The cover is well drawn with several spiders of gigantic proportions displayed. The incisors on the main spider are very scary and probably enticed many dimes out of kids pockets back in August of 1942 just to see if they sank into the beautiful girl in distress or whether she was saved by the space patrol man in the lower right portion of the cover. Page quality on this one is also a plus.

This one is the book that really got me into collecting Planet Comics. It was my first CGC book with a blue label. I have always thought pteradactyles were really cool creatures. My son who is 3 likes to point at all 4 of the prehistoric birds on the cover. The girl in the orange dress twisted with the green bird plus the yellow background make this Dan Zolnerowich cover truely great. I won this book in a Comiclink auction.

This is the second most "FRESH" looking book I own in the Planet run. It has vibrant colors that really jump off the page. It has a new slick, just printed look. Pictures just don't do this one justice. I watched this book try and sell with "buy it now" option for over a month's worth of weekly listings on Ebay. The price was waaaayyyy too high. I did ask the owner a couple questions and made an offer also receiving their contact info. About 6 weeks later, I sent an offer $75 more than the first and it was accepted. This is the highest graded. The red background and neat art really makes this a great book.

This book has a special place in my Planet collection. It was my first GA book that I ever bought. It has a super detalied cover. Lots of action starting with the backgound fight scene,planets and a rocket in the background, and the girl being startled by the upcoming alien monster. I even like the detail in the lower right corner where it looks like she was having a lizzard roast. I wonder if the one roasting is a distant cousin of the monster getting ready to attack her? Ha Ha Ha. I have had a few chances to upgrade this one, but the sentimental aspect of this one outweights the registry points. It presents very well for a 5.0 mosly black cover.

Planet Comics #26 has an awesome cover featuring fishmen, a triangle shaped sun, a damsel in distress, and her hero blasting a laser gun shot straight through a fishman in the background. What's not to like about this one? This is the first issue in the run where it went down to 60 pages and the two story lines of Flint Baker and Reef Ryan were combined into one from this issue on. I purchased this book at the same time as the #28. Both are awesome books.

When I started collecting Planets, this is a book that was on my first list of "must haves". The action scene cover is great starting with a green color background along with the red alien, purple otherworld horse, and the yellow gold in the girl's hair make for a very striking cover. I live in Kentucky, so I was pleasantly suprised to see the Lost World story takes place in Kentucky near and in World Famous Mamoth Cave, as mentioned on page 1 of the story. It was later referred to in the story as the "cave of death". In this story Lobo the dog saves the day and Hunt and Lyssa escape with perfect timing as always. In the Mars: God of War story, there is a part of the story where it shows a method of corporal punishment for this society was "Death by Space Catapult". It is pretty cool to see the drawing (see picture 2 below) of this mythical device, but I won't give away the ending.....I will let you read about it. Also in this issue, Gale Allen and her girls fight a crazed leader who has a flesh eating tree. All good stories in here. I purchased this book from Filter81 along with #26 in a group deal. Enjoy them both, have never regretted picking up either of these two gems.

This book has an amazingly bright cover and was one of the first few Planets that I bought. It has a good Lost World story where Hunt and Lyssa run into a group of warriors in the area where California used to be. They all have blonde hair. Doesn't everyone from California have blonde hair? Anyway, they battle and defeat "A god no man has ever seen" with a ending with a twist. The installment of Gale Allen and her girl squadron doesn't dissapoint either when she is searching for some stolen Ernuim. Great book all around.

This was one of the first Planets that I read from cover to cover. There are some good stories and great artwork in this one. You can tell from the cover that the Lost World story is set in France. What you can't tell necessarily from the cover is the rest of the stories are great too. In Mars God of War, Mars uses a human brain emplanted in a giant bug-like robot to start a war between two neighboring planets. Gale Allen and her girl squadron run into trouble while checking up on a galactic beacon in the far corner of space. Gale and her crew end up in a giant web set by a moth man type creature. Do they escape?.....you'll have to read it for yourself. Finally, Flint Baker and his Space Rangers see through an evil plot by a seductively evil woman named Lotura, leader of an iron jaw army. Great reads, pick up a copy. I recommend it.

This book was purchased on the CGC boards. Great detailed cover on this one which is actually from a scene in the Gale Allen story. Inside stories start with Lost World set in London. Our favorite team of Hunt and Lyssa find themselves meeting and being helped out of harm by a man named Sir David, the holder of all Earth's knowledge. Space Rangers is a great read when they inadvertantly crash into the depths of Xanadu the water planet. Super art in this one. Norge Benson story is all about searching for a Mammoth that turns out to not be extinct foiling some evil scientist's plans. Mars god of war story is well drawn and thought out as well. The ending to this one hinges on a hand sized whistle. Wonder what that means, then I recommend picking up a copy and reading it. I wouldn't want to ruin it for you. Not a bad story in the book!

This is one of my favorite books. I really like the cover to this one, and it is very tough to find in high grade in some part due to it's mostly black cover. It has my two favorite Planet characters on the cover Hunt Bowman and Lyssa. The story inside shows how they hijack a Volta ship to get back to America. They are apprehended by a Volta squadron who want to test a new gas weapon on the humans. The final panels to the story will show you if the weapons were successful. A good read worth finding out the ending. Also in this one is a well drawn story of Gale Allen and her girl squadron when they do some investigative work on planet Aquos, a mostly water planet. The inhabitants try and fool Gale about their intentions, but Gale figures out their scheme.
Also, Mars God of war is a very entertaining read.
I did own a 9.2 copy before this one and I can wholeheartedly say that there is a big difference in this 9.4 and my prior copy that is seen by the eye and worth much more than a .2 bump in grade. I paid much more for this 9.4 than I did the prior copy and after seeing this one in person, I have not regretted trading up for a minute. There is a great gloss and boldness o the cover colors that just can't be put into words. This is a great copy of a classic Planet Comics.

Planet Comics #35 has one of the best covers in the middle of the run. This issue is hard to find, IMO, and it is even tougher to find in great condition in part due to it's mostly black cover which shows and magnifies every flaw. This particular copy is in amazing condition with White Pages. The Lost World story takes the duo of Hunt and Lyssa through a seemingly abandoned amusement park. Key word there is seemingly. Cool story and art on this one. All the stories are good with the highlight being the first appearance of Mysta of the Moon, my second favorite story line within the series. I have the page pictured to the right of the first panel where Mysta was drawn. She is the girl in the red outfit laying on the table. The Mysta character was first shown wihin the 'God of Mars' storyline and from then she had her own stories. Great origin story that is entertaining and well drawn. This is one great book all around.

This book was purchased on the CGC boards. The cover is great featuring Mysta of the moon, her robot
busting through a door, a Villan with snakes for hair and a basket full of snakes for good measure. This
particular issue is a Rockford pedigree which I think is a bonus. One detail that I think is cool is that Mysta is not only strapped to the table by her hands and ankles,
but her hair is pinned down to the table in several places. I also like the colorful ad on the back cover showing other fiction house titles for the current month. Very cool book with nice
colors front and back.
