Product Description
Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer was an instant hit the moment it hit the spinner rack in the earl 1980s. Stevens' lush and distinctive artwork and fun, action-driven story was inspired by the adventure pulp novels of the era The Rocketeer was set in. Stevens produced only two Rocketeer graphic novels - collected to much acclaim by IDW - and his life was tragically cut short when he succumbed to Hairy Cell Leukemia. Now, with the full cooperation of the Stevens estate, IDW is pleased to present new interpretations of The Rocketeer by some of today's finest talents. So, pull up a chair, sit down a while, and discover The Rocketeer all over again!

A great, retro flavored book that makes you smile, Feb 23 2012

This review is from: Rocketeer Adventures Volume 1 (Hardcover)
My first exposure to The Rocketeer came when I was a wee lad and saw the vastly underrated film. I didn't know at the time that it was based on a comic book series, but I discovered it through the Complete Rocketeer released a couple of years ago. This is a perfect companion to the original two adventures that Dave Stevens wrote and illustrated. Each short story in this anthology is a great throwback to the retro 30's and 40's and the high flying adventure stories that inspired The Rocketeer in the first place.I loved every story, every artist, the Alex Ross covers I drooled over, the wonderful hardcover design, and the bonus pinups in the back.
Highly recommend to any fan of The Rocketeer or 30's retro flavored adventure stories.

Interesting story and great art. Nice to see the story continued. I hope they carry on the work into future issues. Fans of The Rocketeer should get this.

The Roccketeer flies again!, Feb 14 2012
By GSD - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rocketeer Adventures Volume 1 (Hardcover)
The Rocketeer was an epic 8 issue story in the 1980's by one of the comics industry's most respected creators, DAVE STEVENS. In 1991, it became a big budget summer blockbuster. This collection gives the hero 4 more adventures. They are very decent interpretations of Dave Stevens original masterwork (some better than others). This collects issue 1-4 of the Rocketeer Adventures series. For the hardcore Rocketeer fan only.
Listmania!
