About the Art

Published in November 1944 by Fiction House, Planet Comics #33 features a dramatic cover by Lily Renée, one of the Golden Age’s most influential female artists. Renée’s composition captures a chaotic confrontation between Hunt Bowman and the alien Voltamen, rendered with her signature attention to detail and dynamic framing.

The issue reflects wartime themes of resilience and ingenuity, with stories like “The Lost World” exploring post-apocalyptic survival. Renée’s groundbreaking presence in a male-dominated industry is underscored by her ability to blend expressive storytelling with intricate costume design, influenced by her background in fashion and admiration for German Expressionism.

Lily Renee

A trailblazer of Golden Age comics, this Vienna-born artist fled Nazi-occupied Austria via Kindertransport, later studying at NYC’s Art Students League. Renée’s work at Fiction House blended German Expressionism and Jugendstil, featuring bold heroines like spy Señorita Rio, aviator Jane Martin, and supernatural thriller The Werewolf Hunter. Her intricate costumes and dynamic layouts redefined 1940s comic storytelling.
