Bucky Bug

[Dwight Decker]

I have no idea what current plans are for Bucky Bug, but I
do know that local (Phoenix) writer Don Markstein sold several
new Bucky Bug scripts to Disney Comics about three years ago.
They were written in rhyme (of course) and were to have much
the same flavor as the old stories, but would have a new
ecology theme. Maybe David Gerstein knows if any of the
stories were ever actually drawn and published. After he
sold his first Bucky Bug story, Markstein used it to wangle
free admission to a science-fiction convention as a pro SF
writer. "Does what you write have anything to do with science
fiction?" "Well, its about a civilization of intelligent
insects who talk in rhyme." That qualified!
