Buck Rogers (Universal, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41"). A modern-day Rip Van Winkle, Anthony "Buck" Rogers was trapped in a collapsed mine and fell into a state of suspended animation, waking 500 years later, in the year 2419. Buck, who made his fist appearance in the August 1928 issue of Amazing Stories magazine, quickly became a wildly successful comic strip, debuting on January 7, 1929. He conquered the nation's airwaves in 1932, with his own syndicated radio show, and came to the silver screen in 1939, the hero of a thrilling 12-chapter serial, starring Buster Crabbe as Buck, a companion serial to Universal's popular Flash Gordon serials (also starring Crabbe). Paper from this popular serial is extremely scarce, and is rarely offered for sale. The wonderful duotone example offered here, for Chapter 9: "Bodies Without Minds," had fold separations with minor paper loss, tearing and some paper loss at the center crossfold, a large tear in the bottom right that goes into Crabbe's face, as well as several additional tears in the image area. Additionally, the borders have been replaced. The professional restoration applied to this poster is absolutely first rate, returning a like-new appearance to this classic, and hard-to-find, sheet. Good+ on Linen. Shipping: Rolled Material (view shipping information) Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
