Planet Comics questions from a GA Noob

[Annihilus]

Hey guys, just recently started dabbling in GA comics by picking up some cool L.B. Cole covers from a couple of members here and may be branching out a little bit....hopefully you'll forgive any ignorance I may show here!

 

I managed to pick up a nice issue of Planet Comics (#55 published by Fiction house) for a great price the other day by sheer luck at a used bookstore I go into quite a bit. It's got a great cover (as is any cover showing a beautiful gal with a raygun!), but I was really blown away by the interior art.

 

Anyway, the stories and art in this issue are great, but leaving me wanting for more. These issues are pretty spendy in the OSPG and I'm not sure I'll run into another one the same way I lucked into this one.

 

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know if any of this series was ever reprinted in an affordable volume? Either Hardback or TPB?

 

The picture below isn't of my book specifically (I don't have a scan handy), but it is the same book I bought (#55). It seems that my interest has now spread from GA Horror exclusively to GA SciFi.

I love them too. Sadly there are only a very few reprints. Off the top of my head, there were one or two issues reprinted in the 80's (by Pacific Comics?) and perhaps a black and white issue in the 70's. You can get them for under guide on eBay very easily...

Congrats on discovering this great title. I am unaware of reprints. That is why I am trying to collect them in both HG slabbed AND low grade raw for reading. WIll take another 30 years but what the hell.

One possibility is to purchase a CD-ROM with these reprinted. I know there is a Fiction House CD-ROM with Planet, Jumbo, Fight, Rangers and others for about $15.00. Check e-bay!!!!

these are b&w but done quite nicely. the cd rom should have color reproductions.

 

 

and there are definitely more available from AC comics

Thanks for all the info, guys! I'm definately going to try to find more of the actual comics, but there's no way I'll get all of them, so these alternatives are great.

 

Thanks again!
