The Adventures of Buck Rogers – No. 12 (December 1st, 1938) 
 
A scarce pre-war Australian issue of The Adventures of Buck Rogers, No. 12, dated December 1st 1938. This large-format publication, printed by Fitchett Brothers Pty. Ltd., presents the thrilling science-fiction exploits of Buck Rogers, the pioneering space hero who helped define the genre in popular culture.
Issued at the height of the pulp-era fascination with interplanetary adventure, this edition features vivid period illustrations, comic strips, short stories, and advertisements reflecting the futuristic optimism of the late 1930s. The combination of bold art and imaginative storytelling makes it a superb example of early science-fiction publishing in Australia.
Well-preserved copies such as this are increasingly hard to find. An excellent piece for collectors of vintage comics, early sci-fi, and Australian popular-culture ephemera.
