Always liked this cover.

Hot dog! Or should I say Hot croc! Any splash pages to match the grandeur of the cover?

I'll have to get back to you on that, as I don't have it handy.

This sure is a nice 75

I was surprised and so very excited to land this one.  The cover is really quite awesome.

Picked these up at ECCC this weekend.  The brittle pages on the 101 would normally have stopped me, but I figured for $3 it was still worth it.

Love that cover

Two FH books that have earned mythical status are Planet 15 and Jumbo 31. Looking at Census stats tonight, the Planet 15 surprisingly has three times as many copies slabbed as does Jumbo 31 (25 to 8).

Personally I think the Planet 15 is the cooler book (though I’ve never owned one), but there’s something about the Jumbo 31 that continues to captivate me (full disclosure, I own the Census topper at 7.5). 

I dont know what it is that keeps me thinking about these two books...

my copy of 31 was sold as the "larry mcmurtry" copy; being a first edition collector and lonesome dove devotee', i dig that.

Here's a cool short run of Friction House you don't see very often...

Both books are super cool.  I too give the edge to Planet 15, but that’s more because I hold Sci-Fi in much higher esteem than jungle adventure.  Both are awesome though. 

The question for me is why has Planet 15 earned mythical status while books like 14 and 6 which are arguably just as tough, have not?

And You sure don’t see them with such rich color when you do see them either... really nice.

That one isn't common like some of them

I never noticed this cover before... impulse buy! The GGA cover is lovely; love the lady of course, but also the inking on the native, a cool use of shadows. The orange background is unusually nice and deep.

Great looking book! Poor Ann Mason in another awkward predicament. 😬

And another great cover by the great Rafael Astarita. My favorite Astarita Jungle cover is #47:
