I'm hanging onto what I have left of mine, but have not added anything new for a couple of years. If memory serves, this was the last.

Oh my! Those reds!!!

an upgrade to my Planet 11 is a great Fiction House color comparison...

Fantastic! It's very hard to find copies with rich reds! And such an awesome cover!

Lee Elias (Planet Comics #29, March 1944):

Graham Ingels (Planet Comics #30, May 1944):

Chester Martin (Planet Comics #44, September 1946):

Ruben Moreira (Planet Comics #44, September 1946):

Bob Lubbers (Planet Comics #46, January 1947):

Murphy Anderson (Planet Comics #47, March 1947):

Fran Hopper (Planet Comics #48, May 1947):

Awesome books SuperGrover!  Issue 11 was the first golden age book I ever purchased.  Another great example of Fiction House color variation.

Not me, alas. But these were yours...[maybe other boardies could post their 'formerly known as cheetah's Planets' too!]. Ah, nostalgia!

Such an amazing set you had, Jeff! Still more...

[Flex Mentallo]

When you put the entire set on Heritage, it was a unique opportunity to decide, which copies of which issues were 'must haves' across the whole title! [#66 in 7.5 was the one that got away from me unfortunately!]
