Auro

Born in the very first issue of Fiction House's beloved Planet Comics back in 1940, Auro is a genuine Golden Age original — one of the earliest inhabitants of that pulpy, rocket-fueled cosmos that Ken Jackson helped bring to life. Sharing those thrilling pages with the likes of Flint Baker, Gale Allen, and The Star Pirate, Auro kept remarkable company in one of the era's most imaginative science-fiction anthologies. With appearances stretching across an astonishing span from 1940 all the way to 2017 — surfacing in Men of Mystery Comics alongside the classic Planet Comics reprints — this character has proven far more durable than most of their Golden Age contemporaries. For collectors who love the wild, wide-open frontier of early comic book sci-fi, Auro is a rewarding piece of the Fiction House legacy worth seeking out.
