November
8, 2002, Runnemede, NJ – Top Cow Comics wasn’t
the first company to produce a Battle of the Planets comic!
The first series hit way back in 1979 and 1980 from Gold
Key and Dynamic Forces brings them to the world in collected
form for the first time.
Almost
impossible to find, these back issues are long sought-after
fan-favorites. According to Wizard “Gold Key’s
nine issue run (which was actually 10 issues, but who’s
counting? Oh, that’s right, we are!) has been one
of the hot tickets throughout this past summer’s
convention season.” With issue #1 being an easy
$20.00 item, and the rest of the issues solid $10.00 items,
what’s a budget conscious comics fan to do?
DF
aims to please! In honor of the upcoming 25th Anniversary
of Battle of the Planets, we’re collecting these out
of print and impossible to get back issues, and bringing
them to you in this complete collected edition! Re-Mastered
in glorious black and white, the beauty and rarity of these
issues will be treasured for years to come. And this baby
boasts a beautifully drawn cover by none other than George
Tuska and painted by Alex Ross! All this for an MSRP of
$19.99.
As
an extra added bonus, Munier Sharrieff and Udon Studios
have created and DF has added in an exclusive 12-page Battle
of the Planets story! Not only do you get 220 classic pages,
but 12 extra pages as well!
All items are scheduled to ship in January 2003.
