Did You Know?

Did you know, Buck Rogers was the very first science fiction comic strip hero.

The character, at first named Anthony Rogers, was introduced in the first science fiction magazine, "Amazing Stories", in August 1928, by Philip Nowlan.

At the time, Philip Nowlan did not know that he would be the person responsible for inspiring many 20th century space science fiction writers.

The story led to the creation of a comic strip debuting in January 1929, with Anthony renamed “Buck,” which sounded more heroic and capitalized on the popularity of Westerns at that time.

This was followed by a radio show, which began in 1932.

Both the comic strip and radio show were wildly popular and soon Buck Rogers merchandise was everywhere.

Historians credit the very first science fiction toy to be manufactured, was the Buck Rogers Rocket Police Patrol spaceship by Louis Marx & Co.

To celebrate Buck Rogers, here are some wonderful images of early Buck Rogers nostalgia and the 1934 Buck Roger Rocket Police Patrol spaceship.
