The Rocketeer, the pulp-inspired hero immortalized by the late, great Dave Stevens, blasts off once more this December as IDW Publishing launches the new five-issue miniseries Rocketeer Reborn from writers Elsa Charretier and Pierrick Colinet (Star Wars Adventures) and artist Javier Pulido (Hawkeye).

“It’s an immense honor for us to contribute to Dave Steven’s legacy, and a big responsibility as well— 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,” said Charretier and Colinet.
In Rocketeer Reborn, 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’s jetpack is found in a most unexpected way, it’s a race for those with good and evil intent to grab hold, strap on, and take off for adventure!
Rocketeer Reborn #1 will go on sale in December.
