Buck Rogers, created by Philip Francis Nowlan, first appeared in newspapers in 1929 and quickly became a groundbreaking character. The comic, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century A.D., followed the adventures of William “Buck” Rogers, who originally appeared in Nowlan’s story Armageddon 2419 A.D. The comic’s story begins with Buck as a World War I pilot trapped in a collapsed mine.
