The first Buck Godot story appeared in issue #2 (summer 1982) of the anthology comic book "Just Imagine", published by Just Imagine Graphix. More Buck Godot stories followed in issues #3 (1982) and #5 (spring 1983). A fourth story written by John J Buckley, Jr. and penciled by Doug Rice, which has never been reprinted, appeared in #8 (winter 1984). In 1986, the three stories by Foglio were colored and compiled along with a new fourth story in "Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire", a graphic novel published by Starblaze Graphics. This was followed in 1987 by a full-length graphic novel, "Buck Godot: PSmIth", also published by Starblaze.
