Philip Francis Nowlan and first appearing in the 1928 issue of
Amazing Stories, Buck Rogers first adventure Armageddon 2419 told the story of a man trapped in a coal mine during a cave-in who falls into suspended animation, and wakes up almost 500 years into the future- to an America in need of protection from rival warring gangs seeking control. In 1929, John F. Dille Co. would place the character into the comic book world where it would explode in popularity and lead to toys, radio plays, comic books, and a movie serial starring
Flint Dille, the grandson of original Buck Rogers creator
Philip Francis Nowlan.
Buck Rogers first appeared in
Amazing Stories back in 1928, and eventually became a cross-platform superstar before that term was even a thing: he had his own radio show, film serial, TV series, and more. In those stories, the character is a man living in the 1900s who is knocked out in an abandoned mine, only to wake up in the year 2419 A.D. He became an iconic space explorer and action/adventure character, eventually inspiring the Daffy Duck Looney Tunes riff “Duck Dodgers,” which featured Daffy as a hapless adventurer.
