Spectacular! We the FH minions demand a splash page or two!!

Those are pretty neat oddballs.

Welcome to the craziest coolest books of the early GA!

I was thinking an overweight Professor X!

Interesting, these 1941 issues depict The Flame as a kind of Human Torch ripoff. Looks like it was right around March/April 1941 when The Flame ditched his kinda shabby flame gun for the All-Fire-Any-Time persona. Though it didn't do a whole lot to sustain sales. Meanwhile, back in 1940...

Super AWESOME, Gino! That's a heckuva splash page!

Um, why doesn't anyone notice a skyscraper is about to fall on their heads? Blue Beetle should know better!

Thanks, sounds like it was a fun panel. The Archie panel must've been awesome, if only for the button.

You're nuts. You know that, right?

Who else was on the panel?

Well I'm just gobsmacked! I'll miss that fella in your sig line...

Renee WOW!!

Double WOW!

Wow!

Looks great, Mike! Super congrats!!! Wow, just one to go! I look forward to seeing your board thread of the full set of books.

Yes, the Planet "try-out" books!! Top-of-the-long-box books! Based on scarcity, coolness, and historical, I'd put Jumbo 10 just after Planet 15, and Jumbo 11 just after Planet 6. But that's just one Planet completist's opinion!

Regarding the Planets, this 1994 list really underscores the concept put forward by @sfcityduck and a few others in this thread that "Science Fiction Comics" should be/was about the contents of the book, not the cover. This explains why the 1994 list simply ranks the Planets in order of their issue number. This was true in 1994 and also 1993. The thinking being that issue #1 is more valuable than issue #2 is more valuable than issue #3 etc. There is the one exception with the Planet #15, which I guess must have been singled out way back when as the "low distribution" cult () Planet issue. Though we all "know" now that #14 is just about as scarce as #15. In other words, the cover itself played minimal (if not zero) role in assembling the 1994 list. If the cover had counted at all (and of course which counts for SO MUCH today), I expect the list from Planet #1 to Planet #12 plus Planet #15 would have looked like this, based on the collective opinions expressed by the Planet boardies, the dollars spent by the Planet boardies (), and a bit of my own preference: Planet 1 Planet 2 Planet 15 Planet 5, Planet 8, Planet 10 (tie) Planet 6 Planet 11 Planet 3 Planet 4 Planet 7 Planet 9 Planet 12

Thanks for the play-by-play coverage! Such a great set of pics!!

I agree on these two books. Though to me their covers have always felt more like "robot" covers than "sci-fi" covers. Maybe Overstreet should launch a Top 10 Robot Comics list. Or not.

Why so serious? 🃏

The inscrutable magicks at ComicConnect! You could give them a call and ask; they’re a pretty friendly bunch.

Surely Planet #2 and #15 have also earned a spot on the list. That sci-fi list seems, so, like, 1981. Overstreet’s personal favs?
