Chet Edson

Chet Edson is a Golden Age science fiction adventurer who appeared in Fiction House's Planet Comics, sharing its pulp-tinged anthology pages with characters like Mysta of the Moon and Auro in an era of cosmic exploration and interplanetary adventure.

Launched in the pages of Fiction House's beloved Planet Comics in 1946, Chet Edson is a Golden Age science fiction adventurer who found his home among some of that publisher's most memorable cosmic characters — sharing those pulp-tinged pages with the likes of Auro, Mysta of the Moon, and Dorna. Fiction House's Planet Comics was the crown jewel of Golden Age sci-fi anthology comics, and Edson's presence there, created by Ross Gallun and Fran Hopper, places him squarely in that thrilling tradition of interplanetary derring-do. What makes his story especially remarkable is the longevity: a character born in 1946 whose appearances stretch across reprints and retrospectives all the way to 2011 — turning up in Golden-Age Science Fiction Treasury and Men of Mystery Comics — speaks to a lasting affection among collectors and historians for this corner of comics history. For fans of the pulp-to-panels golden era, Chet Edson is a genuine discovery worth seeking out.
