Buck Rogers isn't quite as well-known as Luke Skywalker, Captain James T. Kirk or Flash Gordon, but people are more familiar with Buck Rogers than John Carter, Hal 9000 and The Doctor from Dr. Who. How do we know that? A survey was taken as part of an ongoing lawsuit.
The lawsuit is between descendants of author Philip Francis Nowlan, who created the fictional space explorer in the 1920s, and descendants of John Flint Dille, whose newspaper company once syndicated a Buck Rogers comic strip. On Friday, a Pennsylvania federal judge wrote the latest chapter in a long-running contest over rights with a...

A father accused of attacking British TV star Elliott Tittensor has pleaded guilty to the offense after admitting he "lost his temper". John Flint was arrested in November 2010 after allegedly punching Tittensor outside a London court just minutes after the "Shameless" star was fined $1,200 for his part in a car accident which left Flint's son Oliver with serious injuries.
The teenager was hurt when Tittensor's car crashed into him in August 2010, although an attempted murder investigation was dropped and the star was charged with driving without insurance. John Flint appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, March 22, and admitted to a charge relating to fear or provocation of violence.
Flint, who represented himself, says, "I apologize to the court. I just lost my temper. I saw his face smiling outside of the court. I'm not going to pay him one penny of compensation. I'll pay the court, but not him.

A father accused of attacking British TV star Elliott Tittensor turned his back on officials in court on Tuesday to protest the actor's sentence over a car accident.
John Flint was arrested in November after allegedly punching Tittensor outside a London court just minutes after the Shameless star was fined $1,125 (£750) for his part in a car accident which left Flint's son Oliver with serious injuries.
The teenager was hurt when Tittensor's car crashed into him in August, although an attempted murder investigation was dropped and the star was charged with driving without insurance.
Flint was accused of disturbing public order but appearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court, he refused to face authorities.
When asked to explain why he would not turn around, Flint announced: "Because you're turning your back on my son, so I'm turning my back on the law."
He was warned he would be held in contempt of court if he didn't cooperate, to which Flint responded: "I'll speak to the court when that fellow (Tittensor) gets done for leaving my boy in the gutter for dead. I'm not prepared to talk until he's prosecuted."
The 46 year old was released on unconditional bail until his trial in March.
