Planet Comics Returns for its 80th Anniversary in Antarctic Press January 2020 Solicits

Planet Comics was a science fiction comic book title published by Fiction House, 73 issues published from January 1940 to Winter 1953. The first comic book dedicated wholly to science fiction, it featured space operatic tales of muscular, heroic space adventurers who were quick with their "ray pistols" and always running into gorgeous females who needed rescuing from bug-eyed space aliens or fiendish interstellar bad guys.

And now, 80 years later, it returns for its 80th anniversary in January 2020 from Antarctic Press in their January 2020 solicitations., Let's take a look…
