Planet Comics #21

In "Invaders of Venus," Star Pirate and his sidekick Trody stumble upon a deserted planetoid only to find Sir Gayda and Wista stranded there, setting off a chain of events that pits them against the remnants of the dead pirate Muigela’s crew. With George Appel handling both pencils and inks, the story unfolds across wild cosmic landscapes, blending swashbuckling adventure with interplanetary intrigue. Dan Zolnerowich’s dynamic cover captures the issue’s high-stakes drama, while the tale itself delivers a twist-laden journey from space piracy to redemption, all in a 10-cent comic from 1942.
