Back in 1919 Buck Rogers was in the lower workings of an abandoned mine near the city of Pittsburgh when suddenly the walls caved in and a peculiar gas caused him to be held in a state of suspended animation for five hundred years. Finding himself in the strange and exciting world of the 25th century Buck quickly adapted him self to the use of rocket powered spacecraft and other marvellous scientific developments that would seem almost impossible in our present day. With Wilma Deering and Dr Huer Buck has visited Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and even far off Pluto. His life has been just one amazing adventure after another.
