List of Buck Rogers comic strips

Listing of the publication history for the Buck Rogers comic strip.

The history of the Buck Rogers comic strip is a complicated one. The early strips were numbered rather than dated, and every so often the numbering was restarted, creating a new strip numbering "series". To add to the complexity, different newspapers ran the strips on different days – sometimes several months apart from each other. Below is a very detailed story guide to all of the Buck Rogers comics strips, complete with story titles, dates, strips numbers (where applicable), artist/writer information and a large number of detailed notes addressing the "eccentricities" of the strip.

Notes:
 * General – The term "series" refers to a new numbering sequence and are differentiated using Roman numerals. The dates used for strips that contained only strip numbers (prior to 9/16/46) are the dates these strips ran in most newspapers. Some newspapers ran the strips several months behind. At different points in the strip's run "extra" individual strips or week of strips were run that ran in a limited number of papers. In some cases, entire "series" of strips were dropped by papers in order to synch up with the rest.

Notes:											
 * General – The term "series" refers to a new numbering sequence and are differentiated using Roman numerals.  The dates used for strips that contained only strip numbers (prior to 2/16/58) are the dates these strips ran in most newspapers.  Some newspapers ran the strips several months behind.  At two points in the strip's run "extra" individual strips were run that ran in a limited number of papers.
 * (A) – Beginning with strip number 243, a one-tier "sub-strip" was included at the bottom of the Sunday page in some papers that ran the strip in a tabloid format.  They contained a storyline independent of the story in the main Sunday strip.
