As I walked through my university’s union yesterday I passed a student that had an image of the Rocketeer as their background image. My interests were piqued and I headed over to deviantART to see what fan art was out there. And that is the story of how I came upon this Joel Ojeda Lopez piece.

REVIEW: Rocketeer Adventures 2 #1
We loved it so much the first time, they’re brining it back around for another run (followed soon after by another). As is often the case with follow up events, one wonders if IDW Publishing has scored again with Rocketeer Adventures 2, or if this is a huge embarrassment for Rocketeer fans?

FAN FILM: Rocketeer gets animated for 20th anniversary
I can’t believe its been twenty years since the Rocketeer movie debuted, and nearly thirty years since Dave Stevens unleashed the adventures of Cliff Secord on the world. Though he is greatly missed, fans still honor Stevens’ work and we still have Rocketeer Adventures from IDW Publishing.
John Banana has created this awesome bit of 3-D animation as an homage to Stevens that simply rocks.
