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.
