From the very beginning the elegance and masterful design alongside the vivid nostalgia has made many artists eager to try their hand at The Rocketeer. The realism required means it's not for every talent out there. Here some delightful examples which first appeared in The Rocketeer Special Edition form Eclipse Comics which finished the first Rocketeer story.

It's been great fun to revisit once again The Rocketeer by Dave Stevens and others. The character has a delightful evergreen quality which allows me to savor it all over again every few years. I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to see Cliff discover an experimental rocket pack and take to the skies and the next time I get to glom my peepers on the ravishing Betty. Good stuff!
Next month things get a bit darker for us all here at the Dojo.
Rip Off
