Here's a brand new vintage reproduction T-Shirt from Ryte TRACK, available now in our Comic Book & Science Fiction collections.
Step back into the golden age of pulp adventure and classic American advertising.
This striking vintage Popsicle advertisement from the late 1930s / early 1940s features the legendary sci-fi hero Buck Rogers, one of the first and most influential figures in comic strips, radio serials, and early science-fiction cinema. Long before modern superheroes, Buck Rogers represented the future — jetpacks, ray guns, space suits, and optimistic visions of tomorrow.
Brands quickly realized his power. Popsicle used Buck Rogers to connect futuristic adventure with everyday life, turning a simple frozen treat into a symbol of excitement, imagination, and modernity.
The bold colors, heroic poses, oversized popsicle graphic, and playful typography are a perfect example of pre-war American advertising design. It’s where comic art, product marketing, and space-age optimism collide.
This piece is part of our Public Domain Vintage Comic & Advertising Collection, digitally restored to preserve the authentic print texture, aging, and color palette of the original era.
