The Rocketeer : the Complete Adventures by Dave Stevens. 148 pp.
I'd always heard that this comic had gorgeous visuals, but had never gotten around to reading any of it. The art *is* great, and it has a very pulp-adventure feel. I did not expect the inclusion of established pulp characters (Doc Savage and two of his assistants, The Shadow), and really enjoyed that. In fact, I like everything about these comics except for the main character and his girlfriend. Well, the main character was okay for all of the adventure parts, but I just wanted to slap him whenever he was talking about or to his girlfriend, or doing really moronic things because of her.
