About the series

Rocket, a 157-issue run from Target Comics spanning 1935 to 1938, chronicled the high-flying adventures of its titular hero in the early dawn of the Golden Age. While a rotating team of writers and artists contributed to its pages, the series is most closely associated with the dynamic, pulp-infused artwork of its primary illustrator, whose clean lines and explosive action set a standard for the era. As one of the longer-lived independent titles of its time, Rocket helped define the costumed crime-fighter archetype before the genre's explosive mainstream popularity, offering a fast-paced, pre-Superman glimpse into the medium's formative years.
