Buck Rogers

Buck Rogers was a popular sci-fi comic and series of films that popularised the concept of science-fiction and swashbuckling adventure as well as time-travel - the story revolves around the titular character of Buck Rogers, who ends up in suspended-animation and awakens in the future to a world under threat from the villainious Killer Kane and other bad-guys of an era that would pave the way for the modern superhero-comics we know today.
