IDW announces The Rocketeer: The Island Based on a Never-Published Outline by Dave Stevens

The classic high-flying masked hero is reaching new heights in his wildest story ever next year. The Rocketeer: The Island launches in February from Eisner Award-winning writer John Layman, blockbuster artist Jacob Edgar and visionary colorist K.J. Díaz. Inspired by a never-published outline by The Rocketeer creator Dave Stevens, this all-new adventure brings readers back to 1938 as Cliff Secord, a.k.a. The Rocketeer, returns to save Amelia Earhart! But this search and rescue mission brings the fan-favorite hero to a mysterious island that is full of surprises.

The Rocketeer: The Island #1 goes on sale February 25. Fans have until January 19 to pre-order at comic shops to guarantee their copy of the debut issue. In addition to the covers above, there will also be a blank variant and an RI 1:50 variant by Nick Bradshaw.
