Artist's Comments

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.

Enjoy!

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...

a) Once again, you have drawn a STUNNING woman.
b) I love the whole scene here, There is this sense of illicitness, but playfullness too.

I have a vague memory of reading a rocketeer comic when i was younger... i remeber sweet art and pretty ladys.

I also belive there was a visible nipple on the last page and that was a big thing for a young boy^^
