  1. Beautiful Arrow books! I am blessed with a few.
  2. Funny you should mention it, my copy just arrived this evening!
  3. My 60. Actually the second Planet I purchased, way back in 2010. I always liked the title "Vassals of Volta". And the cool dress, of course.
  4. And the 59. In much better shape than the last two. Those claw dudes are pretty weird. I asked my wife what she thought and she mentioned "that one guy from Guardians of the Galaxy". Not a bad guess, I suppose, and he does kinda resemble Yondu with the mohawk. And the interior art just keeps getting better with Ingels coming on board in 57.
  5. Got a little behind and had to scan some more in. Need to upgrade these two. That 9.6 cheetah 58 is simply electric!
  6. I have seen very few, and they have been going for quite a bit, even for beater copies. I'm glad I got the ones I have when I did.
  7. Great find on the Kaanga, and beautiful books Sharon! I only have one book from this pedigree, but it is one of my favorites! I had posted on the Centaur thread last year sometime, but I hope you will forgive the repeat posting.
  8. And the 55. Agree that this one is most likely of any Planets to have some Baker work on the cover. Might possibly be he inked it or did a collaboration with Doolin to put the girl in (I have a Crown comics 5 that is supposedly a Baker/Feldstein job so it has happened before)? Particularly the detail in her hair, just seems so distinctive and also different from most Doolin women. I guess we'll never know, could just be wishful thinking...
  9. Great stuff so far. Love those deep reds on the 54. Was never able to close the deal on a truly red one (hat tip chevalmeow!) but still pretty happy with this one.
  10. And for 53, one of my favorite issues. Notable for being Matt Baker's first work on Planet. And a great one it is! I had to include the story, since I just looked through it. And added in a couple pages of Doolin and Whitman too, both bondage/torture with hot poker splashes. A strong issue and what a cover. Bought mine for the nice color but need to upgrade this one as the spine is split. I remember I used to see this listed a lot as a Matt Baker cover but I think people finally accepted it is Doolin.
  11. Sorry got a little behind, getting to some of my older issues that needed to be scanned. But a treat looking through some of these again. I agree a great outfit on the girl, used again on 60.
  12. Truly an original cover, my favorite in the 40s (maybe close with #40). Some unique elements not present on any other covers in the series, with being underwater and a mermaid of sorts. And a lot of variation on the colors with this one. I seem to recall Zolnerowich has one with amazing color, hopefully he shares it again.
  13. Bagged a whale last week and it finally arrived yesterday. Very excited and it looks great in hand. Might be my favorite Lou Fine cover.
  14. I am divided on the 46 cover. I get that the woman looks odd. But I always thought it was cool how it inverted the standard cover of the man saving the woman, and this guy is even hog tied! There is also a lot of variability in that orange background. Still pretty low on the overall ranking though. And figured I'd get 47 done too. Reminds me a lot of 37/38 with the big t-rex style monsters, but I much prefer 38. And Tim, you have an amazing collection! Glad you figured out posting, they are great to see!
  15. Yeah I agree tough act to follow on the 41 with pedigrees and beautiful high grade copies, here is my reader. And I'm with Grover, not my fav cover. But still great contents. Also finally got around to scanning my 32, which I would like to upgrade at some point.
  16. Nice color on that one Karl. It is amazing how much variation there is. I'm pretty happy with my copy.
  17. That 38 is awesome! Here is my 22 that just arrived the other day. Is there a better Christmas cover? I don't think so.
