Some Buck Rogers Drawings by Dick Calkins

Here are some illustrations from some of the Big Little book series of Buck Rogers. The Buck Rogers comic strip began January 7, 1929 and ran until July 8, 1967. Dick Calkins was the initial artist on the strip from 1929 to 1932, with Russell Keaton doing the Sunday strip chores during those same years. Rick Yager drew it from 1932 to 1958, and then George Tuska illustrated the feature from 1959 until its demise. So, chances are it may or may not have been Dick Calkins who drew the work below. Buck Rogers spawned a lot of merchandise as well as movie and TV series, and kept a lot of people busy churning out product.

I would love to see a Buck Rogers movie that captures this "will be that was" kinda future.
