The Rocketeer In The Den Of Thieves 4

The sky-scorching, action-packed finale! Cliff is behind enemy lines and face-to-face with a full flying complement of Nazi Rocketmen! As if this wasn’t bad enough, he, along with Peevy and Betty, have to spoil the Nazi’s last dirty trick—an AMERIKABOMBER, a prototype long-range transport, equipped and crammed with a squadron of enhanced Rocketmen, each armed with miniature rocket-propelled bombs…targeting New York!

The Rocketeer may have finally repaired his relationship with Betty, but happily ever after will have to wait. Because Nazis have kidnapped his mentor! The Rocketeer is grounded! After Cliff and Betty’s adventures in Europe—with Cliff losing the Great Race but saving the day—he and Betty return home with a busted jet pack but a fixed relationship! They’re as happy as they’ve ever been…but paradise doesn’t last long! An elite band of Nazis, foiled in the past by their attempts to construct their own jet packs, decide on a new tactic: kidnapping the only person who can enable them to create their very own fleet of Rocketeers...Cliff’s beloved friend and mentor Peevy! Cliff and Betty must smuggle themselves into Berlin alongside mysterious allies in order to save Peevy. But first, they’ll have to overcome Hitler’s war machine.

Cliff and Betty, with the aid of the jet pack’s mysterious inventor, are smuggled into Berlin on a desperate attempt to rescue Peevy…and try to stop the Nazis from creating a fleet of flying doppelgängers for the German Luftwaffe! But even with the repaired rocket at his disposal, can Cliff overcome Hitler’s war machine—and the SS Rocketeer prototype—and save Peevy and Betty?!

Cliff is frantic when he discovers that his mentor and close friend, Peevy, has been snatched by Nazis. The goose-steppers are hell-bent on creating an army of Rocketeers! But with his jet pack out of commission, there is no hope for him to rescue his friend…until the mysterious inventor of the pack steps in to help!

Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer was an instant hit the moment it hit the spinner rack in the earl 1980s. Stevens' lush and distinctive artwork and fun, action-driven story was inspired by the adventure pulp novels of the era The Rocketeer was set in. Stevens produced only two Rocketeer graphic novels - collected to much acclaim by IDW - and his life was tragically cut short when he succumbed to Hairy Cell Leukemia. Now, with the full cooperation of the Stevens estate, IDW is pleased to present new interpretations of The Rocketeer by some of today's finest talents. So, pull up a chair, sit down a while, and discover The Rocketeer all over again!

Missing scientists! Plucky girl reporters! Betty and Cliff on the rocks! The mysterious Church of Cosmicism! And who is the sinister Otto Rune? Pulp thrills the way you like them as the Rocketeer comes up against a brand-new adversary in... "The Hollywood Horror!"
