The Rocketeer

Editor’s Note: The following redesigns of The Rocketeer are presented in honor of the character’s creator, Dave Stevens, who passed away on March 10th. Mr. Stevens’ signature character’s costume remains so exceptionally pure and memorable, it hardly warrants revision, but in honor of his life and work, we asked several of our regular contributors to send us their ideas. We present them here without criticism. More information on Dave Stevens can be found here and here. – Dean Trippe
