Hercules 01 - 02 - Compiled by Voltaire57

Hercules is a Radical Comics character who has appeared in two 
limited series, The Thracian Wars and The Knives of Kush, 
both written by Steve Moore with Cris Bolsin as the artist. 
The Jim Steranko "Hercules" from the cover of the first issue is 
also featured in solid bronze as the first in the Radical Toyz product line. 
Radical Toyz commissioned sculptor Chris Ingram to bring 
to life the art that represents Radical's flagship title.

The Thracian Wars

The story takes place in barbarian Thrace, in Northern Greece. 
Hercules and his companions are hired by the Thracian king, 
Cotys, to train the Thracian army into one that excels in ruthlessness.

The Knives of Kush

Following their departure from Thrace, Hercules and his companions
 travel to Egypt where they become embroiled in the civil war 
between Seti II and Amenmesse.

The Rocketeer Collection - Contributed by Voltaire57



 The Rocketeer is a comic book superhero, created by writer/artist Dave Stevens. 
The character first appeared in 1982 and is an homage to the Saturday matinee serial 
heroes from the 1930s through the 1950s. 
The Rocketeer's secret identity is Cliff Secord,
 a stunt pilot who discovers a mysterious jetpack that allows him to fly. 
His adventures are set in pre-World War II America, and Stevens gave 
them a retro, nostalgic feel.

Analogues of pinup diva Bettie Page and fictional pulp characters 
appear prominently in the series. 
The character first appeared in publications from Pacific Comics, and would be printed 
by several other independent companies until 1995. Stevens' meticulous drawing style, 
perfectionism and careful research gave the various Rocketeer adventures a notoriously
 slow publishing schedule. Following Stevens' death in 2008, 
his estate licensed the Rocketeer to IDW Publishing, who have since produced
 numerous titles starring the character.

The Rocketeer was adapted into the 1991 Walt Disney Pictures film The Rocketeer
by director Joe Johnston.
