Read ARMAGEDDON – 2419 A.D. Storyline:

Anthony "Buck" Rogers is one of the most celebrated characters in the long history of science fiction. In his own field, he is almost as well-known as Sherlock Holmes is to mystery fans. Buck Rogers first saw the light of day in Armageddon – 2419 A.D ., in the August 1928 issue of the first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories . Buck's creator, an unknown young author named Philip Francis Nowlan, would write one other Buck Rogers novel, The Airlords of Han , a few months later ( Amazing Stories , March 1929), and then transfer his hero's adventures to the far more lucrative medium of the daily comic strip, where it became an instant hit – and he apparently never looked back. Buck Rogers' success in the comics led to a proliferation of serials, movies, radio, and television shows.
