That was it, wasn't it? Stevens' Rocketeer was a golden age comic book from a better golden age than had actually been.
Daniel—if, somehow magically, Stevens had lived and worked in the Golden Age, with his abilities, he coulda been King of Komics. Though he would've had to work faster, and maybe that's why true Golden Agers weren't better—cuz they had to churn stuff out so frantically, just to make a living.
I've still got my 'Pacific Comics Presents' issues that continued (from the 3rd instalment, I think) The Rocketeer. I've also got various collected editions from down through the years. What an artist. I think it was through The Rocketeer that I first learned about bettie Page.
