This is the company that got Murphy Anderson back into drawing comics. After a very unsatisfying stint drawing the syndicated Buck Rogers strip, he returned to NC to work at his father's cab company. Jerry Siegal (Superman creator) was the editor of the Ziff-Davis line and lured him back to NYC on the promise of very high page rates and work on sci-fi comics -- Murphy's first love.

 

Unfortunately, the painted covers and Siegal's taste in stories were not enough to cover the high staff expenses and so ZD cancelled most of their titles after a very short run. In the meantime, Murphy found work at DC and begin an uninterrupted streak of assignments in comics.

No disagreement from me on this one. I had the hardest time extracting my copy from its prior owner but I kept in mind my mother's advice: You can get more with a kind word, a loaded .45 and a set of compromising photos than you can with just a kind word.

 

Planet Comics 66 - a Maurice Whitman cover. He's pretty much my favorite GA artist and this is his best Planet cover.
