Critics Consensus: An action-packed, if anachronistic, look back at pulp matinee serials, The Rocketeer may ring hollow with viewers expecting more than simple fun and gee-whiz special effects. Previous Gone With The Twins. September 24, Hollywood Jesus. April 1, Solzy at the Movies. December 2, The Spectator. July 19, Stevens was one of the most promising superstars in his field, his fluid inks praised by the likes of Frank Frazetta and Al Williamson. His ghost-duties on miscellaneous titles like Tarzan was enough to cement his reputation as artist extraordinaire. Obviously, he was not alone in his affection for the gentle adventure stories of yesteryear, because The Rocketeer has a fan-following that ranges from industry veterans to children. The fact that he was a notorious perfectionist also ensured that the stories trickled out slowly, and through different publishing houses, which meant fans had to track down the issues individually all these years. IDW Publishing, in collaboration with the Stevens estate, has brought the complete Rocketeer stories in one page release, in multiple versions. Full auction details are included at the end of the article, but to bring the new folks up to speed real quick:.

Dave Stevens and his Rocketeer creation may not have as much of a back catalog as Captain America or Superman, but the goodwill for this character among fans and other comic creators is real and on display in this book.

I grew up on Disney, and I think I remember seeing The Rocketeer on video as a kid, though I don't remember much about it. Still, as a lifelong fan of pretty much any media associated with the House of Mouse, I saw this at a library near me and decided to pick it up. Boy, was I disappointed. The artwork is gorgeous, but, that's what I've come to expect from comics, as many as I've read. While the content was clean in some areas--as strong as the language gets is "heck"--the lone female character I grew up on Disney, and I think I remember seeing The Rocketeer on video as a kid, though I don't remember much about it. While the content was clean in some areas--as strong as the language gets is "heck"--the lone female character is seen in various states of undress, including naked albeit with critical areas obscured. There was also some blood, and one rather freaky scene involves a theme park ride that is supposed to emulate perdition. None of that seems very Disney-esque; at least, not in the style of the productions with which I grew up. Not only that, but, too many pages of these "complete adventures" are mere filler; alternate covers, postcard artwork, etc. Such material wouldn't be as problematic if this "omnibus" had more actual content, and wasn't such a thin book. As much as I love the House of Mouse--especially their live- action movies and shows--now, I'm debating whether or not I should see the film version of this. Maybe the reason I don't remember it that well was because we turned it off or something. Sep 06, Robert rated it it was amazing Shelves: xseason , comics-graphics. Classic fun that never got enough love while Stevens was alive. May 06, Arlie rated it it was ok Shelves: graphic- novels. I don't know that I'd call my self a graphic novel aficionado, but I've certainly read a lot of them. That said, this one doesn't number among my favourites. It seems most people are enthralled with Stevens' art, and while it certainly is 'luscious' this word comes up many times, including on the back of the book itself' , I found the representation of Betty offensive. Perhaps I'm too much of a feminist or something, but it seemed to me objectification of the female form. Apart from the nudity, I don't know that I'd call my self a graphic novel aficionado, but I've certainly read a lot of them. Apart from the nudity, there was also a bit on one of the covers showing her butt with the caption, 'The best side of Betty'. It made me angry, and also made me feel like people must enjoy this kind of thing in comics because they live in their basements and have trouble talking to women in real life. Which I'm sure isn't true. But I prefer to read adventures where women are respected, even if they choose to be scantily clad. I didn't find Secord much of an improvement on Marco or whatever his name is. They were both just using her. Shallow characters and a shallow plot couldn't provide me with any depth of enjoyment. View 2 comments. Jul 14, Justin rated it it was ok. Dave Steven's "The Rocketeer" is held in very high regard amongst comic book or graphic novel if you prefer aficionados, so this might seem like heresy to some, but the storytelling is paper thin. The art is stunning - no doubt about it - but there isn't that much that is memorable about the actual plot, and no matter how graphically beautiful it may be, it sorely lacks a good story. Sad but true. Feb 17, Shazza Maddog rated it it was amazing. I had seen the Disney movie many times and really enjoyed it, so when I spotted the collected graphics, I snatched it right up. Cliff Secord is a barnstormer who can't catch a break, except he has an absolutely beautiful girlfriend, Betty, and a terrific mechanic, Peevy. When guys running from the law ditch a weird pack in Cliff's Gee Bee plane, Cliff discovers he's hit a gold mine as well as nothing but trouble. The pack is a jetpack, and Peevy's clever enough to design a helmet that allows the I had seen the Disney movie many times and really enjoyed it, so when I spotted the collected graphics, I snatched it right up. The pack is a jetpack, and Peevy's clever enough to design a helmet that allows the person wearing the pack to steer in the sky. Cliff's first attempt to use the pack winds up with him saving a drunken pilot who picked up the Gee Bee and was about to crash it. That attracts the attention of the Russians who stole the pack in the first place, as well as the Feds, who are also trying to find the pack. In the mean time, Cliff's and Betty's relationship is on the rocks, and Betty is considering leaving Hollywood to go to Paris. This is a fun book. The art style is beautiful, and in particular, Betty practically glows. This collection shows how amazing his style was, and he will be missed. It's a period piece which proves faithful to its period, so if you can't stand works that don't reflect your modern views and attitudes then I would recommend steering clear.

  • Paramount Collection
    Paramount Collection Airtight To control the air is to rule the world. Nuclear testing has fractured the Earth's crust, releasing poisonous gases into the atmosphere. Breathable air is now an expensive and rare commodity. A few cities have survived by constructing colossal air stacks which reach through the toxic layer to the remaining pocket of precious air above. The air is pumped into a huge underground labyrinth system, where a series of pipes to the surface feed the neighborhoods of the sealed city. It is the Air Force, known as the "tunnel hunters", that polices the system. Professor Randolph Escher has made a breakthrough in a top-secret project, the extraction of oxygen from salt water in quantity enough to return breathable air to the world. Escher is kidnapped by business tycoon Ed Conrad, who hopes to monopolize the secret process and make a fortune selling the air by subscription to the masses. Because Conrad Industries controls the air stacks, not subscribing to his "air service" would mean certain death. When Air Force Team Leader Flyer Lucci is murdered, his son Rat Lucci soon uncovers Conrad's involvement in his father's death and in Escher's kidnapping. Rat must go after Conrad, not only to avenge his father's murder, but to rescue Escher and his secret process as well. The loyalties of Rat's Air Force colleagues are questionable, but Rat has no choice. Alone, if necessary, he must fight for humanity's right to breathe.

  • Idle Hour: Noho's Beloved Barrel Reborn
    Idle Hour: NoHo's Beloved Barrel Reborn By Alysia Gray Painter http://www.nbclosangeles.com/entertainment/the-scene/Idle-Hour-NoHos-Beloved- Barrel-Reborn-291527871.html NBC Los Angeles Says: If Los Angeles building styles could be viewed as members of a large and loopy family, roadside vernacular architecture, or programmatic architecture, if you prefer, would absolutely be the nutty cousin who balances spoons on his nose and sings songs backwards, all to garner attention and bring delight. It's the Cabazon dinosaurs and it's the bulldog-shaped diner seen in "The Rocketeer" and it's every outlandish vintage design conceived to catch the eyes, and cash, of early motorists. And it's the barrel-shaped structure near the appropriately attention- garnering North Hollywood intersection of Lankershim Boulevard, Vineland Avenue, and Camarillo Street. Yep, we speak of what was formerly La Caña Restaurant, or what's often called The Barrel, a long-closed gem which is getting another longed-for shot as an open-and-in- business business. But here's the twist: Idle Hour, the fresh handle for the bar, is actually its long-gone moniker. Surely you remember back in the 1940s when it was called The Idle Hour Cafe & Tap Room, yes? La Caña came later, and then, after it was long closed, a designation to save the not-looking-too-great spot: Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument #977. That's a fair estimation, yes? If you strolled by the structure in recent years, you likely thought, or voiced, that it had "seen better days" (or some other "someone should save this place" lamentation).

    Working Paper Series SPECIAL ISSUE: REVISITING AUDIENCES: RECEPTION, IDENTITY, TECHNOLOGY Superheroes and Shared Universes: How Fans and Auteurs Are Transforming the Hollywood Blockbuster Edmund Smith University of Otago Abstract: Over the course of the 2000s, the Hollywood blockbuster welcomed the superhero genre into its ranks after these films saw an explosion in popularity. Now, the ability to produce superhero films through an extended transmedia franchise is a coveted prize for major studios. The likes of Sony, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. are locked in competition with the new kid on the block, Marvel, who changed the way Hollywood produces the blockbuster franchise. Drawing upon my previous and current postgraduate work, this essay will discuss fans and authorship in relation to the superhero genre which, I posit, exemplifies the industrial model of the Hollywood blockbuster and the cycle of appropriation and revitalisation that defines it. I will explain how studios like Marvel call upon up-and-coming directorial talent to further legitimise their films in order to appeal to middlebrow expectations through auteur credibility. Such director selection demonstrates: 1) how the contemporary auteur has become commodified within transmedia franchise blockbusters and, 2) how, due to the conflicting creative and commercial interests inherent to the blockbuster, these films are now supported by a form of co-dependent authorship. Related to this, I will also explore how fans function within this industrial context and the effect that their fannish support and promotion of superhero films has had on the latter’s viability as a staple of studio production. ISSN2253-4423 © MFCO Working Paper Series 3 MFCO Working Paper Series 2017 Introduction From the 2000s, through to the present day, the superhero film has seen a titanic increase in popularity, becoming a staple of the mainstream film industry.

    PRESS RELEASE: NEW DISNEY SHOW REPRESENTS LEBANESE CULTURE (FT. MUSIC BY LEILA MILKI) Disney Junior's new animated TV series, "The Rocketeer," celebrates Lebanese culture and cuisine in its most recent episode entitled "Recipe For Disaster." The show is an endearing and empowering remake of the original 1991 film, this time featuring a female protagonist, Kit Secord, as the superhero, along with her Lebanese mother, Sareena Secord (voiced by Lebanese-American actress Kathy Najimy), who runs a local diner (serving Mediterranean food).

The lyrics (written by show-runner Nicole Dubuc), feature Lebanese dishes in its verses ("Kibbeh, tahini, baba ganouj...hummus, loubieh, kousa, fattoush...Muttabal, halaweh, mujadara, ma'moul...mouhalabieh, labneh, fatayer w ful"), and culminate in an energetic Arabic/English chorus: "Ahla w sahla, Welcome, welcome! Sa7a wa Hana, Enjoy your meal!" The song recording, produced by Beau Black, features vocals, piano, and an original melody/musical arrangement composed by singer-songwriter Leila Milki. It also showcases Lebanese drummer Marc El Khoury on doumbek and percussion. "Enjoy Your Meal" is available for streaming on Spotify (https://spoti.fi/38zqMaf), Apple Music/ iTunes (https://apple.co/30W1RLh), and Youtube (https://youtu.be/K5PRZBTn2C).
