Space the final frontier...

There are comics for a lot of cool voyages that took place over the years, many in the 50s and 60s and those words gave rise to some equally cool images that ended up on our cherished comic books.

I've made no excuses for my love of sci-fi books of the past and sci-fi covers make up a substantial portion of my top ten comic covers list.

Checking in at number eight: My absolute favorite cover from one of the greatest sci-fi runs of all time: Planet Comics.

After the fashion of the most excellent pulp books that came before - Planet Comics is home to some of the all time great sci-fi images on their covers.

My favorite: Planet Comics issue 66.

The image below was ripped from the internet - and in no way should imply that I own this book. But one day, I hope to own a copy of this issue.

For those of you who want to check out one of the great cover runs of all time - I direct you to the Planet Comics registry set of Cheetah. I don't know Cheetah - we've never met or spoken - but it is one very excellent set of books
