Buck Rogers, Giant Movie Edition

(Whitman, 1979)
™ and © Western Publishing Company, Inc.

In 1979, the time was right for an updated version of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, this time starring Gil Gerard. At the time Marvel was publishing Marvel Comics Super Special, which was kind of an umbrella title for anything that Marvel wanted to publish in a color magazine format. Eventually, the series settled down into publishing movie adaptations, and this format worked well for a number of years. Marvel was also publishing the Marvel Treasury Edition of over-sized comic book stories, and this hybrid co-published by Marvel and Whitman appeared around the same time featuring reprints of issues #2-4 of the Gold Key series.
