    The Rocketeer gets a new one-shot at IDW Publishing

    Robot OverlordBy Robot OverlordJanuary 19, 20232 Mins Read

    IDW Publishing announced a new Rocketeer adventure is on the way featuring a story from the screenwriters of The Rocketeer film.

    Here is how the one-shot came to be:

    The development of this new Rocketeercomic project began during the making of the documentary Dave Stevens: Drawn to Perfection, when filmmaker Kelvin Mao discovered that Danny Bilson and the late Paul De Meo, the original screenwriters of the 1991 The Rocketeerfilm, had written an unpublished Rocketeer comic book story guest starring aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart some years earlier. Mao, along with the film’s executive producer Robert Windom, approached superstar Adam Hughes to illustrate the tale, and the project evolved into a celebratory one-shot anthology edited by Scott Dunbier.

    “What an amazing gift born out of making Dave Stevens: Drawn to Perfection! It’s been a singular privilege collaborating with some of Dave’s longtime pals on a bonafide Rocketeer comic,” said Mao in a press release.

    “The Amelia story was written by Paul and me as a tribute to Dave. Now it serves as a tribute to both of them,” said Bilson. “We’re very honored to have Adam bring it to life.”

    In addition to the Earhart story, there are two more short stories in this one-shot.

    The Rocketeer one-shot includes the aforementioned eight-page story by Bilson, De Meo, and Hughes; a 12-page story of Cliff Secord’s date night with Betty leading to trouble with a vaguely familiar adventurer/archeologist, written by Mao, drawn by Craig Cermak (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark), and colored by award-winning Laura Martin; a four-page story of the Rocketeer fighting a Japanese Zero in the South Pacific, written by Robert Windom (Seven Sons), drawn by the fan favorite Jae Lee (Batman/Superman), and colored by June Chung; pinups by Phil Noto (Black Widow) and Maria Laura Sanapo; and more!

    The Rocketeer one-shot arrives in May 2023.
