About this Collection

This collection reprints early issues of the 1984 Pacific Comics series Planet Comics, a science-fiction anthology featuring a mix of standalone tales and ongoing features. Among the stories included are those starring the heroic Auro and the adventurer Hardwich, navigating strange worlds and futuristic conflicts. The volume showcases the work of various creators from the independent comics boom of the 1980s.

"Adventures on a New World" kicks off with Flint and Mimi leading a desperate mission to rescue the last survivors of a dying race on a newly formed planet, where ancient life is reborn in youth and vitality. As the Gragonians—refugees from a world shattered by a meteor—descend with violent intent, Flint must defend the fragile new home, all drawn in bold, dynamic style by Arthur Peddy. The cover, a striking showcase of classic power and motion, is by Lou Fine.
