Overview: “The Best of Planet Stories #1” is a 1975 anthology edited by Leigh Brackett that collects seven of the top stories from the 16 years (1939-1955) that the famous science fiction pulp magazine was published. In addition to stories by writers like Ray Bradbury and Poul Anderson, the book contains a fascinating introduction by Brackett — herself a frequent contributor to Planet — that discusses the state of the genre and defends Planet’s somewhat seedy reputation for publishing science fiction “soap operas” that featured scantily-clad damsels in distress on it’s covers. It’s also interesting to note that “The Best of Planet Stories #1” was published 20 years after the demise of the magazine. Although publisher Ballantine Books intended “The Best of Planet Stories” to be a series, no further volumes ever appeared.
