Strange Planets

Strange Planets (1958–1964) from I. W. Publishing / Super Comics is a compact, eight-issue science fiction anthology that blends eerie cosmic horror with classic pulp wonder. The series is best remembered for its striking, atmospheric artwork by Joe Orlando, Wally Wood, and Bernie Krigstein, whose imaginative visuals brought alien worlds and unsettling scenarios to life. With scripts from Walter Gibson, Jack Oleck, and Ralph Milne Farley, these tales explore strange technologies, otherworldly threats, and human folly against a backdrop of the unknown. Though brief, Strange Planets stands as a distinctive artifact of late-1950s/early-1960s genre comics, showcasing top-tier talent at the tail end of the pre-Code era.
