Disney continues developing a relaunch of the comic book/movie superhero "Rocketeer" for the big screen:
Created by writer/illustrator Dave Stevens, "Rocketeer" debuted in 1982 as a comic book homage to Saturday movie matinee heroes of the 1930's and 1940's.
"Rocketeer" focuses on 'Cliff Secord', a stunt pilot who discovers a mysterious jet pack that allows him to fly.
Creator Stevens' "Rocketeer" adventures were influenced by Republic's "King of the Rocket Men" movie serial and syndicated "Commando Cody" TV series.
In 1991, "The Rocketeer" was released as a feature by Walt Disney Pictures, directed by Joe Johnston ("Captain America: The First Avenger").
Various comic book companies have published "Rocketeer", including IDW, Pacific, Eclipse, Comico and Dark Horse.
