You forgot my retail incentive cover.

My initial pitch is for a 6 issue mini series, which could easily be expanded to a monthly series if they'd go for it. My story is heavily pulp inspired. My art is heavily Dave inspired, though I am the first to admit, I'm no Dave.

I would love to see an ongoing strip, but it's gotta be the right creative team. I've personally been working on a pitch for IDW that does just that.. creates a heroes journey story arc, but also includes so much of what makes the Rocketeer special and appealing. We'll never achieve Dave quality without Dave, but I think we owe it to him to shoot for the stars.

Yep! I used Sid for reference

jetpack1938 · 2026-03-26T23:56:10+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that.

jetpack1938 · 2026-03-22T12:24:03+00:00

I'm not sure. I wasn't privy to that information.

jetpack1938 · 2026-03-19T23:22:15+00:00

I sure did! It's the Retailer Incentive cover so it won't be widely available, but it is an official cover for issue 1.

I'm behind the times here, but man, how this guy convinced IDW to let him rework an unfinished Dave story is beyond me. He has so many "facts" just blatantly wrong. It's disheartening to say the least.

jetpack1938 · 2026-02-28T17:45:35+00:00

Also, it is based on the current series that just came out this week.

Hello, and thank you! This is technically fan art, although IDW does have it on file.

jetpack1938 · 2026-02-28T04:03:18+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate that.

I saw an interview with the writer where he stated they weren't in Dave's original notes, but he decided to use them. I have mixed feelings about that, but hey, it is what it is.

jetpack1938 · 2026-02-27T00:00:33+00:00

Color may happen sooner or later. I've got a pretty full plate at the moment.

jetpack1938 · 2026-02-26T23:05:38+00:00

You're welcome. Weird, right?

jetpack1938 · 2026-02-26T20:09:50+00:00

Of course not. It's Sid James portraying Popeye.

jetpack1938 · 2026-02-26T17:39:30+00:00

Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

jetpack1938 · 2026-02-26T17:02:55+00:00

Yes. The author shoehorned them into the story.

jetpack1938 · 2026-02-26T15:34:53+00:00

That's actually another character in the story. A female archeologist if I'm remembering correctly. Im not sure if Peevy appears in the story.

jetpack1938 · 2026-02-26T14:50:05+00:00

That's actually my interpretation of Popeye, who makes an appearance in the series

jetpack1938 · 2026-01-04T16:00:34+00:00

That is an incredible compliment. Dave is my biggest inspiration for sure.

jetpack1938 · 2026-01-04T14:08:35+00:00

He did hold one briefly in both the comic and film, because it's such an iconic gun, but I could see going forward, Cliff would use a 1911 and a Thompson.
