Dynamite Entertainment, creators of the best-selling Battlestar Galactica comic book series, have announced plans for Buck Rogers, the 1920's SF comic strip hero:
"...For almost 80 years, more than any other, the name Buck Rogers has simply meant “The Future”. And now that future is coming to you from Dynamite Entertainment!
"...Before caped heroes were leaping tall buildings, Buck was spanning the stars . . . and the centuries. A man accidentally thrust into an extraordinary future, Buck is science fiction’s first superstar and one of our culture’s most enduring icons. In its original version, Buck Rogers ran as a comic strip continuously for 38 years in over 400 newspapers. True to his adventurous reputation, Buck is also known for his star turns in radio, movie serials, and television series. And now, comics and more from Dynamite Entertainment!..."
Debuting in 1928, 'Anthony Rogers' was the hero of two novellas by author Philip Francis Nowlan, published in the pulp magazine "Amazing Stories", before appearing as a syndicated newspaper comic strip.
The SF pop phenomenon paralleled the development of space technology in the twentieth century and introduced international readers to outer space as a familiar environment for swashbuckling adventure.
Buck Rogers has been credited with bringing into pop media the concept of space exploration, following in the footsteps of SF authors Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Flint Dille, animation/video game creator and grandson of rights holder John Flint Dille, oversees the Buck Rogers franchise.
"My family and I have always considered the Buck legacy a sort of 'sacred trust'," Dille says, "and we are absolutely confident that this collaboration with Dynamite honors that trust."
Illustrator Alex Ross will be integral to Dynamite’s comic book launch, providing character designs and the cover to issue #1.
Dynamite’s agreement with the Dille Estate allows for the creation of Buck Rogers comics, collections, including classic material, comics-based fine art prints, posters, action figures, trading cards, statues, and other high-end collectibles.
Interest generated by such collectibles, will pave the way for another studio-generated live-action film...
