Rocketeer

Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer is a lovingly crafted, retro-futuristic adventure that launched from Semic in 1991, with this single issue capturing the pulp-era spirit of its jetpack-wearing hero. Stevens, the creator and primary artist, brings a dynamic, cinematic flair to the story, making this a cornerstone of modern pulp revival. It matters as a pure, uncluttered introduction to a beloved character, showcasing the artist's signature blend of 1930s nostalgia and thrilling action.
