ROCKETEER ADVENTURES Vol. 2 #1 Coming in March!
Tuesday, Jan 24th, 2012
IDW to release second all-new anthology of Dave Stevens’ beloved character
San Diego,
CA (January 24, 2012) – The second all-new, all-fantastic
Rocketeer Adventures series launches into stores in March!
Each extra-long issue—boasting 25 pages of story and
art— will feature covers by Darwyn Cooke and
Dave Stevens. The first issue’s line-up
includes Peter David, Marc
Guggenheim, Sandy Plunkett, Stan
Sakai, and Bill Sienkiewicz, with
Arthur Adams supplying a pin-up.
“The Rocketeer takes us back to another time,”
said series editor Scott Dunbier, “one
stuffed to the brim with heroism and thrilling adventures. Some
might call these stories old-fashioned—and what’s wrong
with that?”
Other contributors to the series include Kyle
Baker, J. Scott Campbell, Eric
Canete, Paul Dini, Michael
Golden, Dave Johnson, David
Lapham, John Paul Leon, Bill
Morrison, Louise Simonson, Walter
Simonson, Chris Sprouse, Tom
Taylor, Matt Wagner, Colin
Wilson, and more. Rocketeer Adventures is in the
current issue of Diamond Previews.
As with the first series, a portion of the profits from
Rocketeer Adventures will be donated to the Hairy Cell
Leukemia research. Dave Stevens, the creator of
The Rocketeer, died of the disease in 2008 at the age of
52.
ROCKETEER ADVENTURES VOL. 2 #1 ($3.99, 32 pages; full color) will be available in March 2012. Diamond order code: JAN12 0408.
