A Modern-Day Hero Dons the Iconic Helmet and Jetpack in December<\/span><\/div>\n

SAN DIEGO, CA (September 20, 2018) \u2013 The Rocketeer, the pulp-inspired hero immortalized by the late, great Dave Stevens, blasts off once more in December with the first issue of a brand-new five issue IDW series:\u00a0Rocketeer Reborn<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Writers\u00a0Elsa Charretier<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Pierrick Colinet<\/strong>(collaborators on\u00a0Star Wars Adventures<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Infinite Loop<\/em>) and artist\u00a0Javier Pulido<\/strong>\u00a0(Human Target<\/em>,\u00a0Hawkeye<\/em>) reintroduce an all-new jetpack wearing hero into the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Rocketeer Reborn<\/em>, eighty years have passed since Cliff Secord first found an experimental jetpack and soared through the skies as a high-flying hero. Now, decades later, The Rocketeer is all but forgotten to most people, a legend of a bygone era. When Cliff\u2019s jetpack is found in a most unexpected way, it\u2019s a race for those with good and evil intent to grab hold, strap on, and take off for adventure!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s an immense honor for us to contribute to Dave Steven’s legacy, and a big responsibility as well\u2014 making sure we stay true to the spirit of the character for both old and new fans alike. We hope people will find a fresh, pulp-noir, modern Rocketeer, as Javier Pulido’s wonderfully unique style and inventive storytelling bring this new adventure to life,\u201d say Charretier and Colinet.<\/p>\n

Javier Pulido playfully adds, \u201cDrop the cellphone and look up in the sky. There \u2013 The Rocketeer flies again!\u201d<\/p>\n

For information on how to secure copies of IDW\u2019s\u00a0Rocketeer Reborn<\/em>\u00a0(with a main cover by Javier Pulido and beautiful Retailer Incentive covers by Elsa Charretier featuring the traditional Rocketeer and Betty), please contact your local comic shop or visit\u00a0www.comicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find a store near you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
