The Planet Comics covers are awesome (and pulpy), but how are the stories?

Crude for the first few, then they transition to well-drawn GGA as the title enters double digits. Over time, some of the greatest Golden Age artists join the roster.

Couldn’t resist this Clink win.

Nice looking colors!

Been looking for a nice copy of this issue for quite some time. Maybe the toughest issue in the later part of the run with a single 8.0 as highest graded.

That’s a beauty! And my favorite Whitman cover.

My first Planet upgrade of 2023.  Issue 8 was one of the first rivet issues I acquired when I first started collecting Planets in 2018, and I’ve always loved this cover.

I’ve had higher grade and lower grade copies of this but this one suits me just fine for now.  
 

One of my three favorite covers from the run.

Very nice, Rick. What are your other two faves? Hard for me to pick just three!

Mine are 18 and 65 

(but 17 is right there too, and I love 35, 66, 70 and 71 too)

Now, that I think of it 2, 8, 41 and 56 are no slouches. OK, I have 73 faves but these are my favorite of the best 73 Planet covers

Good answer. As a reward, I will not post my 18 or my 65 yet again. But they are two of my faves as well.

Great choices. 

Long shot, but does anyone have a Planet Comics 14 for sale, or know of one for sale? Trying to help someone out who only needs that issue to complete their run.

So stoked I had to post twice. See Fiction House thread.

Great pick ups! I especially love that 32.

This one took me a while to find.  Tough Locker reprint.  This is the only one I've seen for sale. Found it here on the boards.

Picked these up a little while back, O Gury 2 and 5 Brazilian.  Sadly both from bound volumes.  But appear to be Planet 2 and 3 translated and in color.  And colors are pretty nice on them.  I think they are pretty cool.
