Harbor carrying dangerous cargo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As someone who bought every Rocketeer comic the day they first came out, this is a dream project for me. Dave Stevens created a terrific, iconic hero who beautifully and uniquely spans the gap between the pulp heroes of the 1930s and the comic-book crimebusters of the 1940s\u201d, said Mark Waid. \u201cHe&#8217;s got a foot in both those worlds, and he&#8217;s a ball to write. And working with Chris Samnee was the part of IDW&#8217;s offer that sealed the deal for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris Samnee echoes Waid\u2019s enthusiasm: \u201cI couldn&#8217;t be more excited to be drawing The Rocketeer. I&#8217;ve been a fan of the character, and a massive fan of Dave Stevens&#8217;s work since I was a kid, and getting a chance to draw him is a real dream come true. I can&#8217;t wait for folks to see what we&#8217;ve been cooking up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If the fan reaction following IDW\u2019s announcement at WonderCon 2012 is any indication, these are the right guys for the job!<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/IDWPublishing.com\" target=\"_blank\">IDWPublishing.com<\/a> to learn more about the company and its top-selling books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IDW is pleased to announce that this summer, Dave Stevens\u2019 legendary, high-flying avenger of the skies will soar once again!
