Buck Rogers: [laughs] I bet you would Buddy.


Killer Kane: And you are the men I made counsellors of Earth? I would be better served by this Buck Rogers who walked through your men as if they were children.


Buck Rogers: I don't understand, sir. Who is this man called Killer Kane?
Professor Huer: He is the result of the stupidity of the men of your century. You failed to stamp out lawlessness and in the end the criminal became stronger than the law.

Facts about

In the original comic strip, Buck Rogers is actually a former World War One pilot who was working as a mine surveyor at the time he came to fall into his long (500 years long) sleep. For some reason, the regulations would not allow the screenwriters to use the comic strip's continuity, so the serial is actually a completely original story with the comic strip characters added.
The first person to actually play the part of Buck Rogers in any medium was John Larkin, who played Buck on the radio show that started in 1934.
Although Dick Calkins signed the artwork on the art for the Buck Rogers strip, it was always done by his assistants, starting with Russell Keaton and continuing with Richard Henry Yager through 1933.
