Planeta Inquietante is a comic that serves as both a parody and a tribute to the Ancient Astronauts theory, popularized in the 1970s by Erich Von Däniken. This theory suggests that extraterrestrials visited Earth in ancient times and influenced early human civilizations. Supporters believe these beings helped with technology, inspired myths, and were seen as gods.
The comic’s creative team includes José Ramírez (magazine editor), artists Gustavo Rubio, Ángel Bernuy, Jen del Pozo, and Conrado Martín, with Adolfo Rodríguez in charge of scriptwriting and creative direction.
While they acknowledge that comics are receiving more attention today, there remains skepticism about whether publishers fully understand how to capitalize on this interest to broaden their readership. Furthermore, they argue that print comics and webcomics are not mutually exclusive; instead, they can coexist and even support each other. The reading experience varies depending on factors such as screen size and tactile interaction, and these differences should inform publishing strategies. Ideally, digital comics should go beyond being mere PDFs formatted for print and instead make use of the unique capabilities of digital platforms.
