What obafgkm said. And it guest stars (though obscured for legal purposes) Doc Savage and The Shadow. There’s a complete edition collecting all of the stories out now.
And in the graphic novel, the heroine is modeled on Bettie Page. Yowza.
cdward, I think that’s a blast-off scorch; the Rocketeer is noticing that his ride’s been stolen. Serves him right for leaving it in a parking lot instead of the closet.

It is an even better graphic novel – the movie is based on the original comic. Look for “The Rocketeer” by Dave Stevens.

jukeofurl, I agree completely. Jennifer Connely had some HOT curves back then…those were the days before she became a telephone pole!

That really puts the “joy” in joy ride! Now if someone would just come out with a real jet pack….

I just bought the collection of the original comics today. Nice hardback edition to celebrate Free Comic Book Day today.

You say Rocket Man shouldn’t have come out of the closet, Sherlock?

Nozzles need to be on angle to direct thrust through center of mass.
