A wonderful string of Rangers covers!

 

What I love about Rangers Comics is the Werewolf Hunter storyline as drawn by Lily Renee. I think these stories are definitely worth the price of admission.

 

Here is Lily Renee's original splash page from Rangers 34, with a reproduction of that splash page in the upper right and the actual cover (and comic) of this issue in the lower right. All in one happy frame.

Beautiful page of art.

Two of the tougher Planets are 8 and 10, so of those two which one do you think is harder to find (in condition)?

definitely 10

 

10 for sure. Below is my 10.

In collecting Planets for about 10 years, I have had the opportunity to purchase #8 in 7.0 or higher 5 or 6 times. The 10 I have is the only one above 7.0 that I have found. For clarity, I did find one other 10 in 8.0, but I did not buy since I thought it wasn't real. Turns out earlier version of one of the 8's on the cgc census showed on the cgc label 'small amount of glue on cover' in the scan, but scan sent to me by seller did not have this. I didn't believe seller was "real" so I passed. Later talked to cgc and they confirmed that owner sent that book back in, glue was removed before submitting and therefore did not display on new label with same cert #. I digress...

 

10 is tough

The #10 Kelly refers to is mine.

Like Kelly I've had several copies of #8, upgrading each time. Still not as sharp as Steve's!

But going back a decade it was thought to be one of the scarcer issues between #1 and #10.
