Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

In the early 1950s, Toby Press revived the classic space-faring hero Buck Rogers for a three-issue comic series, transporting readers to the 25th century with bold, atomic-age sci-fi adventure. Anchored by the sleek, dynamic artwork of Murphy Anderson alongside Ray and R. T. Chatton, this short run captured the post-war optimism of a future filled with rocket ships and ray guns. Though brief, it stands as a key artifact of the character’s mid-century transition from newspaper strips to comic books, preserving his legacy for a new generation of fans.
