IDW Publishing will release THE COMPLETE ROCKETEER by Dave Stevens, collecting the classic series in its entirety for the first time ever.

After more than a decade out of print, THE ROCKETEER makes a triumphant return to stores this October with a comprehensive hardcover edition featuring artwork digitally re-mastered from Stevens' own maintained collection of originals, and all-new coloring by Laura Martin, the Eisner-Award-winning colorist handpicked by Stevens himself.

THE ROCKETEER, a rollicking tribute to pulp novels and Saturday morning matinee serials, follows the high-flying adventures of stunt pilot Cliff Secord and his girlfriend Betty, after Cliff finds a mysterious jet pack and takes to the sky. The graphic novel went on to become a motion picture directed by Joe Johnston in 1991.

In addition to the mass-market hardcover, a very special deluxe edition is planned. Presented in a larger format, the deluxe edition will be filled with behind-the-scenes material, a treasure of additional pages featuring previously unpublished ROCKETEER designs, preliminaries, and sketches by Dave Stevens, many taken from his personal sketchbooks.
