       @augustus have you ever seen Hank Fletcher's "Stardust" comic? the guy is just brutal as fuck, he fights gangsters and does punishes them with existential horrors like being frozen alive for eternity with your eyes open

       @augustus Take your pick: postmodern bullshit guaranteed to soil even the most genuine throwback attempts, Star Wars overshadowing it in the public consciousness, overall disillusionment with the pulp aesthetic in general.

       @augustus the inheritor of the Buck Rogers franchise is the same broad who kicked Gary Gygax out of TSR in the 80s for being a bumbling, coke-snorting whoremonger. she spent the next decade publishing Buck Rogers tabletop RPGs and video games (my friend had the Sega Genesis one as a kid) because she was positioned to make the most money from sales. they weren't very popular, but that's what I think of when I hear the name Buck Rogers.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorraine_Williamshttps://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15278https://www.mobygames.com/game/37833/buck-rogers-countdown-to-doomsday/
