Although the name "Buck Rogers" is known, apparently I never read any
of the comic strips. So the review was very interesting and
informative.

The inserted panels, incidentally, expand when opened on a new tab so
that the text, while fuzzy, is readable.

I am sorry to read that this joins the group of books named "The
Collected Works of" when they are, in fact, only "Some Collected Works
of". I am familiar with this from reading older authors in Kindle
omnibus editions. One is tempted to blame Marketing.
