Episode 521 - Who Gives a Buck?

THE AWESOME COMICS PODCAST

This week the ACP take to the stars and find out how Buck Rogers is once again hitting the pages of comics! Now a public domain entity and shepherded in a new book by Allan and Ben Liska (Green Archer Comics), not only is it the perfect time to talk about this much overlooked and influential character but a perfect time to find out how working with public domain characters. From badly-aged beginnings to the massive influence to pop culture sci-fi, its a fascinating conversation about how to re-energise a classic. All that and a discussion about over the top 80s movie culture, marzipan, pizza cutting and brilliant (and sometimes disturbing) comics!
