You'd think a sci-fi magazine featuring "shared universes" would be the first place you'd see...
...a consistent presentation of the Solar System!
And you would be wrong, as this one-pager by an unknown writer and artist from Fiction House's Planet Comics #51 (1947) will demonstrate!
A couple of years earlier, in Planet Comics #34 (1945)...
...a decidedly-different Venus with different inhabitants was shown by an unknown writer and future Buck Rogers/Superman artist Murphy Anderson!
But only a few issues before that, in Planet Comics #30 (1944)...
...a text feature by an unknown writer using the Fiction House pen-name "Montague Truex PhD" and artist Fran Hopper about Venus featured another race of aquatic aliens inhabiting the cloudy planet!
This doesn't even count the various versions of Venus that appeared in Planet's ongoing strips like Gale Allen and Her Girl Squadron and Lost World!
BTW, we've previously-presented two "scientific romance" versions of Venus...
Earth Man on Venus by Ralph Milne Farley...
and Carson of Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs!
They're kool retro fun!
