Man, whatEVER happened to the rocketeer??? Its now going on 3 1/2 years
since issue 3 came out!!! Theres an old saying, about striking while the
irons hot. Aperently Dave Stevens does'nt believe in that saying!! He at
one time, both as an artist & his character, became very populer, very
swiftly!! The dude blew it, as far as im concerned. One does'nt build a
fan following by being SO damn slow!! Even a once a year issue would be
fast for him!! I loved  his strip, with the authetic 1930s atmosphere it
had, but comics are indeed, like a drug. If you don't have them, you dry
out. Frankly, I just could care less anymore about any future adventures
of the character, unless he be brought back for a big storyline set in
WW2 where he dies at the end, leaving a son with his girl to carry on
the line or such.The character could have realisticly aged, to bring him
into the 40s& 50s, then to have had some sons, who could have become the
new rocketeer for the 60s & 70s. A LOT more could have been done with
the character, but most likly, never will be. It would take a MAJOR
reguler effort to get fandom into him again. A reguler schedule with a
top notch artist.
