Planet Comics #8 is an anthology featuring multiple science fiction and adventure stories set on alien worlds. The issue includes "Flint Baker" on Venus, where Baker attempts to destroy an enemy central control station by sending fighters to capture a fortress while battling a giant metal man and floating atomic bombs. Captain Nelson Cole of the Solar Force investigates a brazen raid on Mars's treasury in which tiny creatures steal all the planet's gold, with guards' rays proving powerless against the small thieves who vanish into the woods. The issue also contains "Laff Riots," a humorous story by Jack Smiley involving telephone odds and various comedic domestic situations.
