An often overlooked sci-fi event from the DC Universe: The United States vs. the warlord Tor in the year 2240 from All-American Comics #13 (April, 1940). Art by Jon Blummer.    Blummer was really trying to channel Raymond; obviously not on Raymond's level, but the influence is clearly driving this art/story. It would be interesting to see someone with the talent for sci-fi art adapt this. |

Want to say thanks to electricmastro and the rest of you posting such splendid images. The early days of Buck Roger's and Flash Gordon in the newspaper & actual books of them I read in my grade school library are some of my earliest and fondest remembrance, along with television running sci-fi movies of the 40s/60s which sparked my love for science fiction and fantasy. I am viewing images I have never seen before and reading of others love for those early and sometimes silly days! Wonderful stuff

Yeah, and with how Flash Gordon was directly inspired by Buck Rogers, Buck Rogers was probably one of the most influential pieces of media to sci-fi comic writers and artists before Star Trek and Star Wars came along, Star Wars in particular having been originally envisioned as a Flash Gordon movie. |

This rendition of Ultra-Man did appear in a not terribly interesting story in a Legion of Super-Heroes annual. Apparently Roy Thomas had planned to have him trapped in the past and have him hang with the All-Star Squadron for a while, which would have been fun. |
