Buck Rogers Comics Module – TSR – (1990–1991) – Volume 1 – Limited Series – #1–9

📘 Series Summary

In the early 1990s, the tabletop gaming giants at TSR (famed for Dungeons & Dragons) reimagined the science fiction icon for a new generation. Buck Rogers Comics Module is a 9-issue limited series directly based on the Buck Rogers XXVc roleplaying game. Unlike the disco-era TV series, this run leans into a grittier, more tactical "hard sci-fi" universe where Earth is a polluted wasteland and mega-corporations vie for control of the solar system.

The series serves as both a narrative expansion of the RPG lore and a standalone space adventure. It follows Buck as he leads the NEO (New Earth Organization) against the tyrannical forces of RAM (the Mars-based corporate empire). Each issue was designed to capture the feel of a gaming "module," featuring technical designs, detailed world-building, and high-stakes planetary combat. This run is a must-have for fans of the XXVc game system and collectors of 90s licensed properties from the peak of TSR's publishing era.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • The official comic tie-in to the Buck Rogers XXVc roleplaying game system developed by TSR.
  • Features a more complex, gritty setting than previous incarnations, focusing on geopolitical tension in the 25th century.
  • Boasts detailed technical sci-fi art that reflects the aesthetic of late 80s and early 90s speculative fiction.
  • A self-contained 9-issue complete story that effectively bridges the gap between comic narrative and tabletop gaming lore.
  • Rarely seen TSR-branded publishing, making it a unique cross-over collectible for both comic fans and RPG historians.
  • Expands the roles of classic characters like Wilma Deering and Dr. Huer within the context of the NEO resistance.
