Finally, All of Dave's non-Rocketeer comic work will be presented, including incomplete and unpublished stories. As with the other books in the Dave Stevens IDW library of titles, this one is a must have for fans of great art!

One of the greatest illustrators to ever grace the pages of a comic book, Dave Stevens is best known for his irresistible women and nazi-fighting action, but IDW is finally rolling out some of the lesser known work by this modern master. Handsomely designed and affordable priced, this beautiful collection is a perfect companion to IDW's previous Stevens release! RECOMMENDED BY PERRY!

ROCKETEER: THE CARGO OF DOOM #1

(W) Mark Waid  (A) Chris Samnee

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Rocketeer with an all-new full-length series!

Dave Stevens created the Rocketeer in 1982 and it has proven to be a uniquely enduring Character. Now Cliff Secord and the Rocketeer take to the skies once again as Mark Waid and Chris Samnee spin a yarn in the best tradition of Dave Stevens, bringing us a tale of great adventure, suspense and humor!
A ship docks in Los Angeles harbor from a far-off and exotic locale-with a big, mysterious... and living... cargo! Danger and mayhem abound as our hero leaps into the fray! Plus, we introduce a lovely new character who will be vying against Betty for Cliff's affections!
Tapping the red hot Daredevil team of Waid and Samnee, IDW rolls out the first new stories of the Rocketeer in, well, a long freaking time. A true classic in the comic world, the Rocketeer is a beautiful melding of action, mystery and hot ass women, set against the backdrop of LA in the 1930s where the skies are filled with bi-planes and blimps... and one man crazy enough to strap a jet pack to his back to fight for what he believes in.
