Buck Wheaties!

Here's a simply delightful cover, a whimsical and frankly beautiful image of a space filled with colorful planets and even more colorful spaceships flitting through the deep dark. This book seen in some more detail here was an early 1930's Kellogg's cereal premium and apparently is quite the Buck Rogers collectable today. It's charming!

Buck Up Old Girl!

This Eastern Color  cover for Buck Rogers signed by original Buck artist Dick Calkins shows a classic Buck Rogers dangling from the "U" of his own logo clutching a helpless Wilma Deering. The expressions on their faces are downright precious. I rather like it when artists incorporate the logo into the cover art, but this is one of the weirdest examples I've stumbled across. The perspective is rather screwy as the rocket ship in the background actually just looks little and toylike and not particularly distant. It is brightly colored, that's a plus.
