David McK (3425 KP) rated Rocketeer Adventures Volume 1 in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Like, I'm sure, more than a few others, my first exposure to The Rocketeer came from the early 90s movie of the same name: even back then, I remember thinking that it bore more than a few resemblances to the 1988 Amiga game 'Rocker Ranger', with both set during (or near) World War 2, and both concerning a test pilot who learns the use of a jet-fueled rocket pack.

I was completely unaware that the film - and, more than likely, that game - were based on a comic series of the same name: this particular one.

I aoso have to say that the film (from what I remember) draws heavily from this source, although (if you'll forgive the pun) neither ever really seemed to 'take off' for me: to heavily draw me in.
