Okay, I'm a huge Rocketeer fan. A HUGE fan. The more I reread the original comics, the more I want new Rocketeer comics. Unfortunately, Dave Stevens passed away last year, which was a HUGE loss in this industry and beyond. The man was an incredible draftsman and talent.
Luckily, we're at least getting a Laura Martin-recolored collection to be released later this year! It's a start-- here's hoping someone is able to take the torch from there.
Anyway, here's a piece I worked up recently. One of my free sketchbook pre-order commissions (get yours today! send me a note for details) was a head and shoulder Rocketeer, so that got me in the mood to try drawing him in a full piece in between commissions and pages earlier this week.
Awesome! I watched this movie as a kid! I vaguely remember it though...I should really re-watch it. I do remember the rocket, and something about Nazis...

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
