Quick update, file sharing context, or channel announcement.
Buck Rogers, the character, was first introduced in 1928 as a comic strip hero, created by Philip Francis Nowlan and artist Frank R. Paul. The strip followed the adventures of Buck Rogers, a World War I veteran who, after falling into a coma, awakens in the 25th century to find himself in the midst of an alien world. The comic strip's success led to various adaptations, including radio shows and films, but it was the 1979 television series, developed by Glen A. Larson and Donald P. Ellis, that brought Buck Rogers to a new generation.
