About this Collection

This volume collects the first three years of Frank Robbins' Johnny Hazard Sunday newspaper strips, originally published from 1944 through 1946. The series follows the globe-trotting adventures of a former WWII pilot turned freelance troubleshooter, navigating post-war intrigue and danger. This Hermes Press edition presents the strips in full color, restored from the original newspaper pages.

In "The Mind of Minds," Buck Rogers finds himself stranded on a mysterious moon of Pluto after a miscalculation in Huer’s teleportation. When Wilma defies orders to rescue him, their journey takes a dangerous turn as they evade Plutonian natives, survive a capture by a deceptive Martian merchant, and outwit a ruthless pirate. With Rick Yager’s dynamic art and Daniel Herman’s vivid colors bringing Philip Nowlan’s classic tale to life, this 2013 Hermes Press release offers a thrilling chapter in the Buck Rogers saga—complete with high-stakes escapes and the looming shadow of a new interplanetary war. Cover by Rick Yager.
