This just arrived! I am thrilled to upgrade one of the all time great Planet Comics.  OW/W pages on this one make it that much sweeter. 

Congratulations on that pick up.  The #15 is a tough book to get in any grade!

After ComicJack suggested it, I started a Planet 15 club thread (included issue 14 too) in the GA section yesterday.  Just encouraging some of you with 14’s and 15’s to go post in the club thread!

How on earth is this book still available? Just hit CC a couple of days ago. Only 2 graded higher and those 2 aren’t going anywhere.

my opinion is that while the book is structurally strong its colors are weak and strong color strike has high desirability with Fiction House collectors

I agree, plus let's be honest, it's not one of the great Planet covers...not really high on the Planetoid desire-o-bility meter.

Yes perhaps the colors strike is the main reason here. I wish CC didn’t have such bad scans, it’s always so hard to know with them how the book really looks.

So, I recently acquired my first copy of Jungle Comics 5.  Just wanted to post a side by side with Planet 10. As you all probably know by now, I really love the Zolnerowich covers. They are my favorite of the run. But, let’s not forget that his first Planet cover was a blatant  Eisner swipe!

That's what you do when aliens are firing inside your spaceship. You lay down like you're posing for a Playboy centerfold.

It's what Aliens and BEMs are most scared of ...Boobs.

It's in all the manuals.

Let’s keep it going. Just got this one back from CGC today.

Some more Planets freshly graded.

The colors on this copy are insane. My picture doesn’t do them justice. Makes the binder holes more tolerable!

Nice colors on this one too.
