Anthony Rogers was a fictional character that originated in two short stories by Philip Francis Nowlan, "Armageddon 2419 A.D." and "The Airlords of Han" published in Amazing Stories. The character was renamed Buck Rogers and reinvented by John Flint Dille as a comic strip, making its first newspaper appearance January 7, 1929. Rogers also appeared in a serial film, a television series (where his first name was changed from Anthony to William) as well and other formats. The idea for the comic strip originated with Dille, president of the National Newspaper Syndicate of America, who convinced a somewhat reluctant Nowlan to undertake the strip. As an inducement to Nowlan, who doubted his ability with the comic strip medium, Dille suggested that Nowlan take the first episode from "Armageddon 2419, A.D." and change the hero's name from Anthony Rogers to Buck Rogers. Dille then enlisted editorial cartoonist Dick Calkins to co-author and illustrate. As of 2009, Buck Rogers is owned by the Dille Family Trust, as successor to National Newspaper Syndicate of America.
