The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom collects the 4-issue story in a colorful hardcover book. Mark Waid has taken the character created by Dave Stevens and imagined a whole new story. Artwork by Chris Samnee is true to the times and the colors by Jordie Bellaire are rich. The story is set in 1940 and the characters are a bit stereotypical. Cliff is a young man unsure of himself, even behind the mask of the Rocketeer. This actually makes for some good humorous situations. Betty, the girlfriend (modeled after Bettie Page), has a big jealous streak. Peevy is the old man in the background that helps out by being fatherly. Sally is the teen mechanical wizard with an unrequited crush on the older Cliff. I love the plot. The Rocketeer finds himself trying to save Los Angeles from a group of dinosaurs run amok after escaping from a freighter ship. How there happen to be dinosaurs in 1940 is never explained, but this is a comic, so just go with it. This is a fun romp that can be enjoyed by all ages. A good clean adventure story! Recommended!

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, the emergence of a lovely new character who will be vying against Betty for Cliff's affections!. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
