THE ROCKETEER, UM FOGUETE HUMANO

The Rocketeer

The Rocketeer is a superhero created by writer/illustrator Dave Stevens that first appeared in a back-up feature of Pacific Comics' Starslayer #2 (1982). The character is an homage to the pulp heroes of the 1930s and 1940s.

The Rocketeer was a stunt pilot who discovered a mysterious jet pack that allowed him to fly.

The adventures were set in 1938 Los Angeles and Stevens gave them a retro, nostalgic feel influenced by, among other things, Commando Cody movie serials and pinup diva Bettie Page.
