Although the camping season ended some years ago when Susan Sontag explained it all, these selections from the comic-strip adventures of Buck and Wilma, "the blue-eyed, golden-haired, high-spirited young soldier-girl," are better late than never. Killer Kane, the Red Mongols, sexy space gear, baroque weaponry and quaint racial slurs-it's all here, from Buck's awakening after 500 years of suspended animation to his inconclusive battle with the Atomites...
