About the Art

Maurice Whitman’s dynamic cover for Planet Comics #71 captures the thrilling essence of Golden Age science fiction, blending bold action and retro-futuristic design. Whitman’s meticulous use of vibrant colors and dramatic perspective amplifies the tension, as smaller figures below scramble amidst chaos. The armored figure wielding a futuristic weapon atop a Martian landscape reflects the era's fascination with space exploration and interplanetary conflict.
