Planet Comics #51
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Mad Mute X-Adapts" introduces a clever trap in the heart of Planet Comics #51, where Mysta’s trusted ally Bron is sent on a mission that quickly turns perilous. Written by Ross Gallun and illustrated by Maurice Whitman, the story unfolds with tense urgency as a seemingly straightforward call to aid a garrison reveals a dangerous deception. The cover by Joe Doolin captures the moment’s suspense, a 10-cent comic from 1947 that packs a punch.
In a future where the planet Volta has conquered Earth, Hunt Bowman receives a desperate message from Professor Raymond Huxley Dunn, a scientist held captive by his own creations—the X-Adapts, mute hybrid creatures born from his pre-invasion experiments. Racing to locate the Professor with the help of a survivor named Lyssa, Hunt must navigate treacherous encounters with both the X-Adapts and Volta patrols, all while uncovering the terrible truth of what Dunn has become in his captors' hands. The fate of Earth's remaining survivors may hinge on rescuing the one man who might have the knowledge to resist the invaders—if Hunt can stay alive long enough to reach him.
Hunted by the ruthless Mentor and his Cymradian forces, a young woman named Futura flees deep underground, where a mysterious being known as the Keeper offers her shelter and a chance to turn the tide. Using ancient power and command of the earth itself, the Keeper confronts Mentor in a spectacular clash of wills that forces the tyrant to make a devastating choice.
In "null," Mysta faces a deception when a distress call leads her to send Bron to deliver a force screen to a garrison—only to discover the emergency was a trap set by renegades seeking to steal her technology.
