Gorby Reading doesn't get any better than Buck Rogers, and Buck Rogers doesn't get any better than when Rick Yager is writing and drawing the stories. What gave the U.S. the gumption to go to the moon? To flyby Pluto? (1) Starting in 1929, Buck Rogers captured the imaginations of a young generation of Americans, including Ray Bradbury. (2) The 1957 Soviet launch of Sputnik showed that the time to get serious about space exploration was NOW! (And, surprisingly, also was the beginning of the end for the great comic strip: space news was moving from the comic strip section to the front section of the newspaper.) But while it lasted, Buck Rogers was the greatest thing going. I've bought ALL of these reprint volumes [except the amazon.com system could not cope with my preorder for the Murphy Anderson dailies; that got away from me!]. This volume continued a story line, part of which appeared in the 1968[?] reprint of Buck Rogers; thus ending 45 years of suspense on my part (now how will they get out of this mess?!). This is a gotta-have book!

His artwork is fantastic, his stories are the most imaginative. Curtis J. Hepworth, the #1 authority on all things Buck Rogers makes it abundantly clear in yet another inspired, fact-filled introduction in this third volume of Buck's Sundays exploits. And this is the first volume where all the stories, writing and artwork, are by Rick Yager. Here, to the best of our knowledge, Rick Yager is 100% in control. And here we have what I consider the first of Rick's continuities to have reached comic art perfection, or almost: the fantastic “Martian Invasion” tale. It's here presented in its entirety, beautifully restored by Hermes. Many more exciting, memorable stories would follow: “Rising Sun Planet”, “The Golden Spaceship Eldorado” (featuring one of Rick's memorable creations, Admiral Cornplater), Battle on the Moon (the Collected Works featured only the middle third of the continuity, the first and third are just as fantastic, if not more so!), “Junglemen of Saturn” (where Buck has to return the sacred pearls to their rightful owners and faces the packendire beast!), Planet Vidua (featuring mad Eastern sector dictator Kah-Mee who threatens to annihilate life on his planet). Anyway, too many great stories to mention. Let's hope Hermes continues this long-overdue reprinting of the Buck Rogers Sundays. We owe it to posterity.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The next Buck Roger's Sunday volume. Finally, the full Martian Invasion of the Earth. By Michael R. Brown FINALLY after *3 years* Hermes Press has put out the third volume of Sunday strips from Buck Rogers!!!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 continuing 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). However, with the stories in this volume, this point seems forgotten and Alura is treated like she's an Earthgirl. In this volume, Black Barney, the reformed air pirate, joins in. Later, the strip would star Buck Rogers, but am not sure if that occurs with the next volume or not. In this volume, Buck and Wilma are the stars at first, before they leave the storyline to Buddy and Alura.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. One was part of the Buddy, Alura, Black Barney period (part of story #26, the Martian Invasion of Earth from 1938/40); and the other was part of the Buck Rogers period (part of story #32, Battle on the Moon). Both where left unfinished, so kind of frustrating. But I get to finally read that complete first story line in this volume!!!!Also, all these stories were written and drawn by Rick Yager, who had fully taken over the strip in the later stories in the last volume. The artwork is a great improvement over the prior stuff. The writing is greatly improved, but there is still the issue of certain story elements being forgotten or left off.This volume reprints about 180 strips, running from May 1937 to October 1940.S22 - "War With Venus" (5/2/37 to 10/10/37)S23 - "Mysterious New World" (10/17/37 to 6/5/38)S24 - "Secret City of Mechanical Men" (6/12/38 to 9/18/38)S25 - "Earth Shifts on Axis" (9/25/38 to 12/18/38)S26 - "Martian Invasion of Earth" (12/25/38 to 10/20/40)These strips are obviously influenced by both what was happening in the dailies (War with Venus, Earth Shifting on Axis, Martian Invasion of Earth), and these are often also influence by what was going on elsewhere in the world with the raising war footing of the Axis powers. The sinister Tigermen of Mars make good stand ins for the Nazis and Japanese.The first story, The War with Venus, is solely a Buck Rogers story. This ties in with the same storyline going on in the dailies. But an interesting twist is a man from Pluto showing up (in a water-filled ship!) and gives Buck a new weapon to use in their war with Venus: a "degravitator", something that removed the gravitic attraction of an object, making it weightless. Its in the form of a gun, so the ray would make objects (or people) float into space. Adding to the mix, we have Killer Kane and Ardala working on the side of Venus to get the secret of the ray and get it to Venus. Which leads to some interesting back and forth, plus trying to come up with a counter to the degravitator. At the end of the storyline, the forces from Venus just mysteriously flee. It's found its due to a mysterious planet coming into the solar system (think "When Worlds Collide"), but instead the new planet does not hit the Earth, but takes up orbit around the sun.This leads to the next storyline to investigate this new world with Dr Dercu of Mercury shows up to see Dr Huer as he has just returned from a brief visit of the new planet, which they call Nova. He had found strange men with double knees and double elbows, and crypts with preserved people before he fled. An expedition is planned, but Buck and Wilma head off on their own and disappear from the strip. Their adventure will be shown in the daily strip. Buddy and Alura return and they along with Dercu and Huer head to Nova on their own expedition. There they are attacked and later rescued by Avonna, who tells how the world came from a solar system where its sun exploded, but the people prepared for this by storing their oceans and atmosphere underground, and build huge crypts to go into cryosleep. Now they are restoring their world. But have to contend with some who wish to take advantage of the situation. They are soon rescued by the just ruler, the Star King. But a complication emerges when Kane & Ardala showup and steal the powerful "Iso-radium", which was used to move the planet to our solar system. So the 4 are off in pursuit of Kane & Ardala. The pair use it the move the 5th moon of Jupiter to establish their own kingdom. But after pursuing them and destroying the iso-radium, the group is called back to Earth for an emergency, leaving Kane & Ardala on their own.Kane & Ardala are contacted by the "Fiend from Space", who is menacing the Earth in the daily strip. They first are sent to a lost city in Peru that has nothing but mechanical men, which Kane hopes to use to conquer the Earth on behalf of the Fiend. Buddy and Alura are soon after them, and Black Barney shows up to help.But instead, the Earth is titled on its Axis, as it is in the daily strip. Buddy and Alura are in still in the Andes are must contend with what is going on there with bandits trying to take advantage of things.This leads to the next storyline, with the Martian Invasion of the Earth. First Buddy and Alura find a group of Martian spies in the Andes. They are soon joined by Black Barney. The info they get from the spies they are trying to get to Earth intelligence, but they must also contend with additional Martians. In this long storyline, they fight off Martians, get recaptured, escape, are captured again and so on. They are taken to Mars to the sinister prison island, the Island of Doom. Complicating things is Buck Rogers is a fellow prisoner and they have the plans and info for Dr Huer's latest invention, the "Red Ray" which can turn the tide.But it turns out "Buck" was another Martian in disguise. They crash into on the oceans of Mars, and the Tigermen are trying to get them with depth charges. They escape and discover an Earth ship in the ocean! Its the crashed ship from the lost 1949 expedition to Mars, the first. They plan on bringing the ship to the surface, clean it up and return to Earth in it. But when they get to shore, they are again captured and sent to the Island of Doom!!!We met the sinister masked King Doolb, the Priest of the High Moon who runs the Island of Doom. They get to pick their fate: 14 doors, half marked red, half green. They pick the room of 3 corrosive acids! The 3 escape it, only to leave Alura on another island, where a pair of vicious beasts are released, and Buddy and Barney are recaptured. Can they escape and rescue Alura??They do escape and are able to repair the old Earth ship and take off. They are now pursued by Martian ships and Earth ships, not helped by the fact that their radio can only receive. They still need to get the "Red Ray" to Earth. They soon are joined by Huer, who creates yet another new invention, Huerolene, a new and more powerful rocket fuel. With the 2, the Earth can turn the tide.Finally, they land the ancient Earth ship at Niagara. They plan on using the 2 new weapons, but a spy steals all the Huerolene created. But the Martians don't have the "Red Ray". This ray actually causes the air to become solid for about an hour. They can freeze things or create invisible barriers with it. They are able to turn the tied and learn who Doolb really is!!! As part of the peace with Mars, Mars gives Earth an unexplored planet in "the outer Kwestian Group", where ever that is.Overall, it was great to finally read the entire Martian Invasion of the Earth storyline, after having first read it as a kid maybe 40 years ago.I think we should get the next 3 storyline (S27-29). Looking at the titles, I think the first 2 deal with adventures on the new planet. Where as the next one is in response to Pearl Harbor. The following volume should have the other incomplete Sunday story, S32.I can't wait, and really hope we don't have to wait 3 years for it. Please, Hermes Press, get these out at least yearly.
