One of the first Perry Rhodan books is set on Jupiter like planet with
extreme pressure and gravity conditions.

Several of the Perry Rhodan books are set on Venus with Earth like
conditions.

Hundreds of SF stories are set on a Venus with Earth-like conditions.
I just finished Brackett's "The Moon That Vanished", very nice. Her planetary romances are brimming with color.
I'm very fond of her writing. She paints wonderful pictures.
And it's not like she didn't know the science. She wrote a good and
realistic Venus story in the mid 50s, with a surface temperature vastly
above the boiling point of water and a toxic atmosphere. A few years
later, though, when she had another story to tell, she used Burroughs'
Venus. And why not?
