The Buck Rogers theme gave rise to emulations such as Flash Gordon and other swashbuckling space heros. These Buck Rogers comic strips were collected by Roland N. Anderson while working as a paperboy. He was able to assemble an almost complete collection of the series from its start in the Evening Gazette on February 4, until March 25, During this more than four year period daily strips were created by the Dille Company and Roland missed getting hold of only four of the strips published in the Evening Gazette - numbers , , and Publication in the Evening Gazette, however, had began exactly four weeks after the official start of the series on January 7, , so the series in the Evening Gazette was continuously behind other newspapers.
In an effort to catch up a bit, the Evening Gazette skipped strips to , publishing strip on Saturday, March 21, and then strip on Monday, March 23, Additionally, the Evening Gazette wasn't published on the Fourth of July national holidays and the Gazette skipped strips scheduled to be published on those dates to avoid falling further behind.
Occasionally, when Roland was unable to obtain a certain strip, the night editorial staff helped him, providing the missing strip either from some reserve or the strip as published in the Boston Herald. This was the case on July 4, as the strip included here originated from that source. The strips from the Boston Herald can be identified by the deviant type in the titling. Titles were set locally at the newspapers, only the images were provided by the Dille Company.
All in all, the strips that Roland was unable to obtain, together with unpublished strips, totaled 14 missing strips - , , , , , , , and To fill these gaps, images of these 14 strips were obtained from gray-scale archival film sources, reduced to black-and-white and then artificially colored to provide the same visual impression as the scanned images.

Now, some may be a little confused about the Sunday strips, as they don't star Buck Rogers!!! Well, people need to realize that in the early days, the usage of Sunday strips hadn't setting down into what we expect nowadays, were the Sundays just continueing the storyline from the dailies, but setup such that people who read only the Sundays or the dailies still can enjoy things.
So, many strips had Sundays with a separate storyline, or sometimes be a different style gag-a-day rather then the drama of the dailies. With the Buck Rogers strips, the Sundays originally stared Buddy Deering, Wilma's kid brother, along with Alura, a princess of the 'golden people' of Mars basically human-like inhabitants of Mars as opposed to the Tiger Men. Later on Black Barney, the reformed air pirate, joined in. Much later, the strip would star Buck Rogers.
As I noted in a prior review, I've only seen a little of the Sunday strips, 2 segments reprinted in the old Chelsea House collection of Buck Rogers. Both where left unfinished, so kind of frustrating. I look forward to seeing the whole segments. This volume reprints about strips, running from December to April And there is never any hint of a romance between the 2 stars.
