Buck Rogers has a long and incredible history in both print in film! If you were lucky enough to pick up the Free Comic Book Day 'Buck Rogers 25th Century A.D.'.
Written and drawn by Rick Yager,we get two complete stories originally printed in 1936 and 1937. Here you get to see Buck and Wilma Deering as he was introduced and dare i say it...it's purely magical.
Up next is a few pages of memorabilia featuring some of the coolest toys, books and film posters celebrating our favorite hero from the 25th Century.
The biggest treat in this comic in the reproductions of the first seven Buck Rogers newspaper strips from 1929. Here you see what people saw almost 80 years ago.
Then we get a look at the two new Buck Rogers books coming out this summer. First is the collection of the 1980's Western Publication, based on the hit TV show starring Gil Girard and Erin Gray.
And if that wasn't enough... Hermes gives us a glimpse into their new monthly series coming in August, 'Buck Rogers' written and drawn by Howard Chaykin. This series will be based on the original 1920's - 1930's Buck Rogers and with Chaykin's art promises to be exciting!
