Condition: New

'The Collected Works of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century' celebrates man's flights into fantasy. Abandon today's gadgets, open your imagination and jump into the frames. The heavy weight of reality will become as light as 'inertron', that miraculous synthetic element which falls away from the center of the earth instead of towards it. Roaming this world and others, you will marvel over men who fly though the air with jumping belts, gaze in awe at futuristic cities enclosed in metalloglass with radar-equipped armies and floating-car mass transit, tremble at the sight of invaders from Mars.

If you are a comic strip buff, you may be hurled into the past rather than the future - the past of childhood fantasies and family Sundays, of atomic disintegrator guns and Buck Roger's speed sleds.

In his introduction, noted science fiction writer Ray Bradbury flashes back to his own encoungers with Buck in the late 20s and early 30s. Mr Bradbury returns us to the era of the Model 'T,' the milk-truck and the ice-wagon.
