The Rocketeer The Complete Adventures Deluxe Edition HC IDW Publishing

About this deal

This is a highly regarded and sought-after hardcover collection by Dave Stevens, published by IDW Publishing. The Rocketeer by the legendary Dave Stevens is collected in its entirety as an oversized hardcover in a beautiful slipcase, combining The Rocketeer and The Rocketeer: Cliff's New York Adventure into a single volume, completely re-coloured, as per Dave Stevens' wishes, by renowned colourist Laura Martin. The story follows down-and-out stunt pilot Cliff Secord after he discovers an experimental jetpack, and with the help of his friend Peevy and his girlfriend Betty, he takes to the skies in 1938 Los Angeles, fighting enemy spies and nefarious criminals. The Deluxe Edition features everything in the regular hardcover but is printed in a larger format (8 x 12 inches) and contains more than 100 additional pages of sketches, preliminaries, layouts and more, plus an introduction by Thomas Jane not found in the standard hardcover. An Eisner Award winner for best design, this collection also includes over 100 pages of supplemental material -- sketches, prelims, and more -- giving insight into the artist's thought processes as he was developing The Rocketeer. A must-have for fans of classic American comics and golden-age adventure stories.
