Glorious, every one of them.

But I will forever maintain that the Summer, 1944 issue has the greatest Planet Stories cover of them all...

Stalwart bubble-helmed Space Hero wielding a blaster, Betty Page-coiffed heroine in state-of-the-art Space Garb, both battling a bug-eyed, taper-tentacled, Space Squid with fangs, antennae and a lashing forked-tongue.
All of this set on a time-worn, mystic roadway stretching away toward a mysterious city looming in the emerald distance.

That's not just good, it's Sublime.

John! When will your new Conan book be "undelayed"?

AH, now yer talkin'!

I appreciate gritty gumshoes working their angles and trying to make a sawbuck, but my eyes truly light up when I see B.E.M.s hazarding humans on aliens worlds! An intriguing sampling you have here. I've only familiar with one of them!
