About the series
A fanzine-turned-comic from the mid-1970s, The Rocket's Blast Comicollector ran for 20 issues and was helmed by editor James Van Hise. Published during the era when fan culture was becoming more professionalized, the series is notable for featuring early work by Don Rosa—who contributed both writing and art before his legendary Donald Duck run—alongside contributions from industry veterans like Steve Ditko. It stands as a time capsule of the pre-direct market fandom, blending original stories with a passionate focus on collecting and comic history.
