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.
