About Forbidden Planet

In addition to being a generally altruistic and incredibly philanthropic bunch of people whose sole desire is to foster a love of comics, science fiction, horror and fantasy around the world, Forbidden Planet is also an evil nasty capitalist multinational (tm).

They give us comics and other things to review for free and then let us keep them so that poor people (and those unfortunate enough to know us) can read them, so we won't have a word said against them. Besides, in each of the chain's shops that I've been in I've discovered friendly helpful pleasantly quirky staff who normally know what they're talking about, and if they don't you'll probably just spend all your time gasping at the sheer amount of good looks and coolness that emanates from their every pore. It is no wonder that Grant Morrison and other Vertigo writers seek their local in their quest for chic. At least that's what I was told to write.

Note: The opinions expressed on any of the pages on the RftFP site are in no way to be taken as representative of the views of Forbidden Planet or any of their staff. They were just the source of the comics.
