THE ROCKETEER

It was The Rocketeer comic he began in 1982 that really brought him to the forefront. Many loved how he merged classic pulp fiction heroes like Doc Savage and The Shadow into the narration. The first adventure was collected together by Eclipse Comics (ISBN 1560600888). The fifth chapter ended in a cliffhanger. The story picked up again in the ''Rocketeer Adventure Magazine''. Two issues were published by Comico Comics in 1988 and 1989, but the third did not appear until years later, published by Dark Horse Comics in 1995 . All three issues were collected by Dark Horse as ''The Rocketeer: Cliff's New York Adventure'' (ISBN 1569710929).
