Buck Godot is one of Phil Foglio’s earlier original creations, a science fiction comic set on New Hong Kong, a deliberately lawless space station. The title character is a large, heavily built troubleshooter who navigates alien politics and criminal enterprises with a combination of physical force and quick thinking.
The series includes “Zap Gun for Hire” (1986), “Psmith” (1987), and “Gallimaufry” (2008), a longer story arc that dealt with the mysterious galactic entity known as the Prime Mover. Buck Godot showcases the same blend of humor, action, and inventive worldbuilding that Foglio would later bring to Girl Genius, and readers of his more famous series often discover Buck Godot as an entertaining precursor.
