I have blogged before about the fact that young children are just not reading comics like they used to. After seeing comic book movies like 'The Dark Knight' last night, I can see why some parents would be concerned to have their younger children reading comics that the film is based on...
There has been several attempts in the 'Modern Age' of Comics to correct that status.
'Planet Terry' was an one of those attempts in the 1980's.
It was published by Star Comics, which was an "imprint' of Marvel Comics.
Planet Terry actually lasted 12 issues, from April 1985 to March 1986, in conjunction with being published with other 'Star Comics'.
This title was authored by Lenni Herman, who was the writer of fellow Star Comics books Top Dog and Royal Roy.
Planet Terry was illustrated by artist Warren Kremer, who had previously worked for Harvey Comics.
'Planet Terry' was a pun on the word "planetary", meaning of or relating to planets!
Terry was a teenager, who was on a quest to find his parents. They were officers on the spaceship 'Star Warp'.
The parents had accidentally launched him off the space craft!
So Terry, along with a robot named Robota, and a yellow-skinned alien named Omnus, went searching the galaxy for his parents.
Unfortunately, Planet Terry's story was never fully resolved before it's cancellation!
However, it is a good title to introduce young children to comics with. We currently have most of the 12 issues, and are listing them for sale in our eBay Featured Store.
