Who is Futura?

Born in the pages of Fiction House's beloved Planet Comics in 1948, Futura is a genuine Golden Age space-fantasy heroine whose very name crackles with the pulp-era ambition that made that publisher's science fiction titles so irresistible. Walter Palais brought her to life in an era when cosmic adventure was pure escapism, and she shares her interplanetary world with a colorful roster of characters — Auro, The Star Pirate, Lyssa, and others — that speaks to just how richly populated Fiction House's far-future universe truly was. What makes Futura especially remarkable is that her presence echoes across an astonishing four-plus decades of publication history, a testament to the enduring pull of Golden Age imagination. For collectors drawn to the pioneering days of sci-fi comics and the distinctive voice of Fiction House, she's an atmospheric and rewarding discovery.
