If someone does “Buck” Rogers, I’d want to see an adaptation of Armegeddon 2419 and its sequel, not the comic strip character or the campy 70s show. Tony Rogers (the real name of the character) is a much cooler and believable character. At most, the only thing that would need an update might be the date of the character getting “lost”, then awakened.

Initially the comic strip started close to the original stories, but then went off into a “Flash Gordon” like tangent.

Jerry Pournelle & Larry Niven actually did a timeline (somewhat in the form of an outline) for sequels to the original stories, at least two arcs of which were actually made as novels by other writers (“Mordred” & “Roger’s Rangers”).

Coming soon … She’ll give you advice. Oh yes. She’ll give you goddamn advice.”
FRANK MILLER’S MARY WORTH … because Frank goddamn demanded it.

I’m still waiting for someone to think – “Hey! Ernie Bushmiller’s Nancy! That’d be a GREAT movie!”

if the spirit is half as bad as it already supposedly is, Frank Miller will be our generations Ed Wood.

Wonder if he’ll cast Erin Grey from the last Buck Rogers film and whoever played Buck in that film, Gil something or the other.

Wonder if he’ll do some more ASBAR.

Wonder if that Miller/Adams collaboration is still on (if so, probably in 2020).

I wonder if he’ll base his version of Buck Rogers on his Lance Blastoff character from Tales to Offend…

i hate to admit it, but i kind of want The Spirit to fail… just to teach him a lesson and give him some karmic payback for ASBARTBW.

If it’s black and white with “artistic” splashes of color, I’ll die laughing.

Please someone just bury this guy. And stop buying ASBR just because he wrote a great Batman story 20 years ago.

He did a Buck Rogers type character in Tales to Offend. Lance Blastoff I think was his name.

Frank Miller’s Lil Abner: A lone psychopath with a ridiculously hot chick against a drug-crazed gang of thugs.

Frank Miller’s Steve Roper: A lone psychopath with a ridiculously hot chick against a drug-crazed gang of thugs.

I’m a huge Miller fan and even I am probably skipping the Spirit. I also thought Sin City was a wasted effort. I think Robert Rodriguez ruined Miller as a director. If only Tarantino made Sin City and said” So Frank, here’s the sets, and locations that we’re going to shoot on.”
