THE ROCKETEER GRAPHIC NOVEL DAVE STEVENS WALT DISNEY ECLIPSE HARLAN ELLISON RARE

THE ROCKETEER GRAPHIC NOVEL. written and illustrated by DAVE STEVENS.

Original 80's version, published by Eclipse Comics.

Introduction by HARLAN ELLISON. filled with lavish full color illustrations.

The Rocketeer is best known for the classic Disney movie, which was adapted faithfully from the original comic books.

Dave Stevens’ Rocketeer is a labor of love, indulged by fans because it’s the best chance we’re ever likely to have of seeing more than covers and posters from this meticulous and beautiful artist.

The Rocketeer of the title is Cliff Secord, a young pilot who lives in a world Stevens has crafted from 1930s pulp fiction and 1940s whimsy. It’s a world of rocket jetpacks, gangsters, high adventure and model girl-friends who look exactly like 1950s pinup Betty Page. The period feel of the book is pure nostalgia, the plots light but perfectly weighted, and the art is a dream.

Following Cliff’s high-flying adventures in grand style.

IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!

Highly recommended.

The sensual art of Dave Stevens burst forth on the world of comics fandom like a buzz bomb during the Spring of 1982 in, of all places, a back-up strip in Starslayer #2, featuring a new character, The Rocketeer. Stevens' stylings-and his new comics adventurer-were immediate hits and the artist remains very popular even though he has produced a relatively small number of (albeit high-quality) comics pages over the years.
