Ep 437: The Rocketeer (35th anniversary) Recap and Review

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts take flight with The Rocketeer, diving into the pulp-inspired world of heroism, adventure, and old-school Hollywood glamour. They explore the origins of the character, the influence of classic serial storytelling, and how Dave Stevens’ work blends nostalgia with timeless superhero fantasy. The conversation also breaks down the character’s legacy across comics and film adaptations, and why The Rocketeer continues to resonate as a pure expression of adventure storytelling. It is a deep dive into one of comics’ most iconic love letters to the golden age of heroes. Join Us! Please leave us a review on iTunes so we can grow our audience and grow as podcasters.
