Planet Comics’ legacy goes way back. The magazine debuted in the 1940s as one of the earliest (if not the first) science fantasy comic books ever.

The upcoming issue of Planet Comics is no exception, with Ben Dunn delivering an exceptional green skinned warrior woman. Not unlike the Orions in classic Star Trek, eh? Other vintage series which have been successfully revived by Antarctic Press include superhero anthology Exciting Comics and the exotic Jungle Comics range.
