SECOND PRINTING - Cover by Jess Fink. Written by Ryan North. Art by Shelli Paroline, Braden Lamb. WHY WE LOVE IT: We have been having so much fun with writer Ryan North (Dinosaur Comics, To Be Or Not To Be: That Is The Adventure) on ADVENTURE TIME that we couldn't resist the opportunity to publish a new original idea of his. And it is original. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: We've all heard of The Midas touch. You know, the Greek Mythology about the man who did a number on himself by wishing for everything he touched to turn to gold? Who better to turn that tale on its head with a heavy dose of scifi than Ryan North? Also, did we mention the Utahraptor? WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Fatima and her space crew have decided to return to Earth-a planet completely sectioned off, abandoned, and covered in gold-to find out exactly what happened to this once thriving planet and see if they can use that knowledge against the evil empire that's tracking them down. As luck would have it, they just landed the most powerful weapon in the universe: some ancient dead guy's body Cover price $3.99.

And John Dashwood ? now Sir John ? is out of the space race following the horrific conclusion to England's first orbital flight. But that doesn't mean he's lost control of the Ministry Of Space.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Invaders Plan!" By L. Ron Hubbard. Painted Cover by Gerry Grace. From Lord Invay, Royal Historian, Chairman, Board of Censors, Royal Palace, Voltar Confederacy: "Let me state it boldly and baldly: there is no such planet as 'Earth.' If it ever existed at all, it certainly does not exist today or even within living memory. So, away with this delusion. On the authority of every highly placed official in the land I can assure you utterly and finally, THERE IS NO PLANET EARTH! And that is final!" With this emphatic disclaimer, we are introduced to MISSION EARTH, an epic told entirely and uniquely by the aliens that already walk among us. Earth is to be invaded and a Royal combat engineer must cross 22 light years to secretly infiltrate the planet. He is also crossing a scheme to use the resources of Earth's most powerful figure to overthrow the confederacy. With a convicted murderess who trains giant cat-like animals, a doctor who creates human biological freaks, a madman who controls Voltar's secret police, and clandestine Earth base in Turkey, a bizarre stage is set and narrated by an alien killer assigned to sabotage the mission and Earth - the planet that doesn't exist. Hardcover, 560 pages, Text Only. Cover price $18.95.

Edited By Michael Uslan. Cover by Murphy Anderson.

From the very center of the earth to the farthest edges of space, from the thrills of the near future to the last terror of recorded time, here in one fabulous collection are the best comic-book tales of science fiction ever published.

Produced by DC Comics from 1959 to the early 1960's, they are the works of the best and the brightest in the field, writers like Gardner Fox, John Broome and Otto Binder, and fantasy-art greats like Carmine Infantino, Murphy Anderson and Frank Frazetta.

From the earliest heart-wrenchers like "Do Not Open till Doomsday" to the most famous thrillers starring Adam Strange, here is a taste of a golden age of science fictions that has not since been equaled in comicdom, a time when there were giants and geniuses in the field.
