The first of the two issues of Wilson ("Bob") Tucker's first fanzine. "Tucker discovered fanzines almost as soon as they came into being. He was a charter subscriber to THE TIME TRAVELER. Affluent with his first $6.00 per week job, he issued his own four-page fanzine in November, 1932 [dated December 1932]. It was THE PLANETOID, whose first two issues were so crammed with scientific facts that the reaction from readers destroyed any possibility of a third issue" (Warner, p. 123).
