Here's the last of my 2017 purchases. There were a total 17 books added to my collection in 2017, including five Rivets (#6, 7, 9, 10, 15), leaving all but one book to complete the Rivet run, and fifteen remaining to complete the whole thing. PLANET #26 One of Doolin's early issues on the title. This cover can have a lot of color variation, and often has a lot of miswrap onto the back of the book. I just noticed all the swirling waves behind the sacrificial podium to the left side of the cover. Just a lot of great GA craziness going on here!

PLANET #45 This book arrived courtesy of Soft-Serve. His goal was to collect Planets with the most ink-dripping colors he could find. This was a true labor of love. When he put his books up for sale in one of the GA threads in 2017, there was fervent buying among us boardies. I was fortunate to land this book. The cover seems heavy with the dense saturation of inks, which might (?) indicate that this copy spun off the printing press very early in the print run. This was Soft-Serve's idea anyhow, which I find plausible given that he is an artist who just might know about these things.

PLANET #15 Well. Well well. This was the issue I figured might be my Achilles heel. I knew this book had felled finer fellers than I. This book is really hard to find, and when found, it is usually in "assault and battery" condition. I first laid eyes on this copy at NYCC in Oct. 2017, on display in one of the glass cases at the Heritage Auctions booth. I think @comicjack was next to me as we drooled over the book. The colors seduced me. The colors screamed "youmustbuythisbook" again and again, until its spirit stuff seeped into the OCD reaches of my brain. And that was that.

Thanks so much HR! It's a fantastic looking book, and knowing it's recent provenance makes it that much sweeter!! (I'm assuming you weren't the original owner ). -

Attaboy -- wasn't he a backup pitcher for Turk Farrell on the Colt .45s in '62? -

Well, I'll throw my hat in too then. I've had my eye on this issue for a long time, but never managed to bring it home. -
Marching ever on through this space opera. More books from 2017... PLANET #27 Two formidable dames (one of whom is green!) for the price of one book! Now that's a deal. Not so easy to find. Really, none of the post-Rivet books between #23 and #40 show up very often. Sometimes they do pop up in waves, when one sale leads to a few more sales. Sometimes you just get lucky, like I did with this one while perusing a dealer's site at some late hour when I should have been asleep.
