“As someone who bought every Rocketeer comic the day they first came out, this is a dream project for me,” said Mark Waid. “Dave Stevens created a terrific, iconic hero who beautifully and uniquely spans the gap between the pulp heroes of the 1930s and the comic-book crimebusters of the 1940s. He’s got a foot in both those worlds, and he’s a ball to write. And working with Chris Samnee was the part of IDW’s offer that sealed the deal for me.”
Unfortunately, Rocketeer creator Dave Stevens passed away back in back in 2008 but it looks as if Samnee has captured a bit of Stevens’ style from early looks at the art.
Not much is known about the new story yet, but apparently a strange tanker, with dangerous cargo, will be at L.A. Harbor and Cliff will have to deal with it and everything it entails.
