Peevy

Peevy is Cliff Secord's gruff, wisecracking mechanic and mentor in Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer, a seasoned aviation technician who helps keep Cliff's daredevil flying career aloft and plays a key supporting role once the mysterious rocket pack enters their lives.

Peevy made his comics debut in 1985, stepping onto the page in Dave Stevens' beloved The Rocketeer and earning a place in one of the Bronze Age's most cherished indie creations. A fixture in the grease-and-glamour world that surrounds Cliff Secord and the Rocketeer, Peevy has kept memorable company across nearly four decades of adventures — no small feat for a character from a series so passionately championed by collectors. His appearances span IDW's ongoing stewardship of the property, turning up in titles like The Rocketeer: The Great Race and The Rocketeer: In the Den of Thieves, proof that Stevens' original cast still has plenty of life in them. If you're diving into the Rocketeer corner of comics history, Peevy is exactly the kind of character who rewards the attentive reader.
