Great thread, I love the discussion and the post of all the different color variances.

For issue 17 I continued to collect images and I had 13 different ones but lost them all to a hard drive fail.

Oh no!  I would have loved to see the side by side of 13 different Planet 17’s!  So much color variation. 

I was so happy to make it to page 3 to see Sha’s copy of Planet 17.  About 5 years after she posted that picture, I was fortunate enough to convince her to sell it to me!  One of the prize jewels of my collection.  I doubt I would have the full run of rivets today if not for her generosity.  Such a hard book to find!

Sharon sold me her 28, which was the last book I needed.

Also of note from that thread: Cheetah's 17 is the one I upgraded to.

That 65 cover is my favorite.  It was the first Planet I bought in 2010.  I think I randomly ran across it on eBay before I even heard of Planet Comics and I had to have it.  Once I heard about the pulp swipes, I had to have the Planet Stories rocket sled cover too.  Which is also so great in its own way.  Thanks for posting, makes me smile.

Now, how the heck is this thread down on page 3?  We need more content!  Here is my suggestion for coronovirus protective gear.  I used to think the bubble-top suits were kinda silly and highly susceptible to breakage, but this will probably be the new norm for people in close quarters in the near future...

Planet 65 was my introduction to Planet Comics and golden age sci-fi comics in general too @mwotka. It is one of a handful of books I see always having in my collection no matter what. 
 

I am partial to 33-35 and the Whitman run although with cover, generally attributed to Doolin, is my favorite.

OK.... this is technically not a Planet Comic.  I'm not really sure if it even qualifies as a comic.  But it's Sci-Fi, it's old, and it's cool, and I wanted to show it off.

From the 1955 movie "This Island Earth".  A french "Picture Comic" adaptation of the movie.

What an awesome cover.

I've fallen in love with Planet covers ever since I bought my first one from Rick, but do find it's overall pretty expensive to find decent presenting copies even in low-grade so have to limit my spending. I will however jump at the chance to buy cheap copies that present well, but are reduced in price due to restoration, low page quality, or even missing pages (since I'm in this just for the covers).

Just bought this one for $100 and it presents so well and has great page quality. The colours are rich, and the only issue is it has some tape on the spine and some minor colour touch (though mostly over top of the tape in order to try hide it and some spots on the spine. Jury is still out if it's trimmed or not.). Worth it!

Awesome looking book!  Excellent color strike.
