About this Collection

This volume collects issues #7-12 of Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's acclaimed series, delving deeper into the mystery of the Four as the Planetary field team uncovers the truth behind their enigmatic leader's past. The story introduces the Fourth Man, the shadowy figure who has been manipulating events from behind the scenes, while exploring the team's origins and their mission to uncover the hidden history of the 20th century's strange phenomena.

In "To Be in England, in the Summertime," Warren Ellis and John Cassaday deliver a quietly haunting entry in the Planetary series, as the team examines mysterious relics from the Four Voyagers Plaza—among them a blanket etched with alien script, golden wristbands, and a blue alien lantern—each tied to lives cut short by the enigmatic Four. With Cassaday’s evocative art and layered coloring by Laura DePuy and David Baron, the issue lingers on the weight of forgotten histories and the quiet mystery of what these objects once meant.
