Buck Rogers

Buck Rogers was a fictional Human character who first appeared in 1928 as Anthony Rogers, the hero of two novellas by Philip Francis Nowlan published in the magazine Amazing Stories. Rogers is best known from the long-running syndicated newspaper comic strip. He also appeared in a movie serial, a television series, and in many other formats. This pop phenomenon paralleled the development of space technology in the twentieth century and introduced Americans to space as a familiar environment for swashbuckling adventure.

Vic Fontaine often made reference to Buck Rogers (DS9 short story: "Second star to the right...")
