[👾🎤]📖🎸🏹🤸🏼‍♂️🌈 Rocketeer Recap! In the Like a Hood Ornament segment of The Thirteenth Hour podcast episode 243, we’re talking about the three versions of the Rocketeer’s rocketpack - the one from the comics (left), the one from the cartoon (top right, which is a combination of the comic and the movie, and the model from the film (bottom right; taken from a little accessory from the Diamond Select version of the Rocketeer action figure - if you look really closely at the lower right corner, you’ll see the name “E Eyth” - likely a nod to Ed Eyth, one of the artists who did a lot of the concept art for the 1991 film (like the pack and gloves discussed in this episode)). Do you have a favorite? I think I was always preferential to the silver one of the movie, which is part of the reason why Logan’s hoverboard, Lightning, in The Thirteenth Hour is silver. 🚀⠀But I really like the combination look the cartoon adopted - two tone silver and purple with fins like the comic, with a double barreled design like the film with a few stylish updates, like purple flames and blue accent (?) lights on the sides (in my mind they’re the equivalent of Bluetooth LEDs that show the connection between the gloves and the pack ... but that would be a little advanced for pre-WW2 technology). 😉 .⠀ #finheads #davestevens #rocketeer #rocketeercomics #rocketeerpack #rocketeerhelmet #cliffsecord #bettiepage #ww2 #rocketmen #docsavage #comics #1930s #1940s #1980s #1991 #disney #rocketeertotherescue #topps #tradingcards #billycampbell #billcampbell #alanarkin #jenniferconnelly #timothydalton #tinyron #rondohutton #joejohnston #comicbooks @nicoledubucink https://www.instagram.com/p/B-25WDDFhNc/?igshid=1ad2nukrlmdio

[👾🎤]📖🎸🏹🤸🏼‍♂️🌈This wk, on the show, we conclude the two part miniseries with Hal and Jim of The Rocketeer Minute podcast. We started off the episode talking about what makes a hero, which is certainly something to consider on a day like today (if you are in the US, you may know, but if you are not, we celebrate Memorial Day to honor soldiers who lost their lives so we could have the freedoms we often take for granted). Sometimes, we guilt people into remembering that, and though we can’t ask them, I somehow doubt those who are not here would want their sacrifices to simply serve as tools for making people feel guilty for their own existences. Every day can be a Memorial Day if you choose it to be, and though the traditional meaning has been a solemn remembrance of those who didn’t make it back home, let’s not forget the living, either. Remember the living heroes, too, as there are lots of people who do things we might take for granted that get little to no accolade in day to day life and have no special day. Like Cliff in The Rocketeer and Logan in The Thirteenth Hour, sometimes people get called a hero not because they set out to be but because they were just willing to do the things that other people didn’t want to or couldn’t do in the service of something bigger than themselves. The picture is from the IDW comic “The Good Guys” by Marc Guggenheim and illustrated by Sandy Plunkett. .⠀ #finheads #davestevens #rocketeer #rocketeercomics #rocketeerpack #rocketeerhelmet #cliffsecord #bettiepage #rocketmen #docsavage #comics #rocketeertotherescue #billycampbell #billcampbell #alanarkin #jenniferconnelly #timothydalton #tinyron #rondohutton #joejohnston #comicbooks @halbryan https://www.instagram.com/p/CAoYZZPhdOh/?igshid=1afzn7k1mjy8q

[👾🎤]📖🎸🏹🤸🏼‍♂️🌈This wk, on the show, we start the first of a two part miniseries with Hal and Jim of The Rocketeer Minute podcast. In this excerpt, we discuss the mentor-student like relationship between Peevy, played in the film by Alan Arkin, and Cliff, played in the film by Bill Campbell. Peevy serves as Cliff’s conscience (in both the film and the comic), nagging him to fly carefully, return the rocket pack, go to the police, and cooperate with the Feds. More in episode 249 of The Thirteenth Hour podcast, available on most streaming platforms, like iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher. You can also view the show notes and listen directly by clicking on the link in the bio, going to the “Like a Hood Ornament” icon, and finding the latest episode. . #finheads #davestevens #rocketeer #rocketeercomics #rocketeerpack #rocketeerhelmet #cliffsecord #bettiepage #ww2 #rocketmen #docsavage #comics #1930s #1991 #rocketeertotherescue #topps #tradingcards #billycampbell #billcampbell #alanarkin #jenniferconnelly #timothydalton #tinyron #rondohutton #josephcampbell #joejohnston #comicbooks #dnd #dndalignment @halbryan https://www.instagram.com/p/CAik1OAlf-b/?igshid=1unaas8dt4tfl

[👾🎤]📖🎸🏹🤸🏼‍♂️🌈This wk, on the show, we start the first of a two part miniseries with Hal and Jim of The Rocketeer Minute podcast. While there isn’t a ton of Rocketeer stuff that was made, there is a fair amount when you add up all the little bits of memorabilia and magazines put out around the time of the movie, not to mention the original comics and comic related publications with interviews with Dave Stevens and such. In this clip, we talk about a few odds and ends that fans of The Rocketeer Minute have sent Jim and Hal to show their appreciation. The ad above with the mythical Spectra Star water rocket Rocketeer is from the 7/1991 issue of Disney Adventures, which has a few pages devoted to The Rocketeer for the movie’s summer release.⠀ . ⠀ #finheads #davestevens #rocketeer #rocketeercomics #rocketeerpack #rocketeerhelmet #cliffsecord #bettiepage #ww2 #rocketmen #docsavage #comics #1930s #1991 #rocketeertotherescue #topps #tradingcards #billycampbell #billcampbell #alanarkin #jenniferconnelly #timothydalton #tinyron #rondohutton #joejohnston #comicbooks #dnd #dndalignment #laststarfighter #theneverendingstory @halbryan https://www.instagram.com/p/CAhEWwrl3JB/?igshid=otd6tuob9mig

[👾🎤]📖🎸🏹🤸🏼‍♂️🌈This wk, on the show, we start the first of a two part miniseries with Hal and Jim of The Rocketeer Minute podcast. Here is a short excerpt. As an introduction to their episodes, let’s just think about the idea flying for a minute since we talk about it quite a bit. A lot of people in the world may kind of take it for granted that man can fly with the aid of machines, but at the turn of the 19th to the 20th centuries, that wasn’t the case. Lots of people didn’t think it was possible. Even Thomas Edison, the inventor of the lightbulb and many other things we now take for granted, famously said in 1895 that there wasn’t really much more that could be done with the airplane. Less than a decade later, the Wright Brothers would go ahead and show the world that there *were* plenty of developments left to make with the airplane. In fact, it was just the beginning. So, it just goes to show that making progress involves, to some extent, ignoring the naysaying folks who say you should get your head out of the clouds and instead marching to the beat of your own drummer if you believe enough in your vision. Although I didn’t really have much intention when writing The Thirteenth Hour books other than creating an escapist story along the lines of something I would have wanted to experience, it there is a message, it’s: keeping dreaming! Make your dreams come true! Hopeful stories like the Rocketeer (comic or movie) bring out that aspect of childhood that reminds us of the magic and hope still in the world - that maybe, just maybe, it is possible for a man to strap a rocket to his back and fly through the clouds, just like this illustration here by the Rocketeer’s creator, Dave Stevens. .⠀ #finheads #davestevens #rocketeer #rocketeercomics #rocketeerpack #rocketeerhelmet #cliffsecord #bettiepage #ww2 #rocketmen #docsavage #comics #1930s #1991 #rocketeertotherescue #topps #tradingcards #billycampbell #billcampbell #alanarkin #jenniferconnelly #timothydalton #tinyron #rondohutton #joejohnston #comicbooks #dnd #dndalignment #laststarfighter #theneverendingstory @halbryan https://www.instagram.com/p/CAc4EdNFjn6/?igshid=1u21t830kamu9

[👾🎤]📖🎸[🏹]🤸🏼‍♂️🌈 Rocketeer Recap of episode 247! This week’s Like a Hood Ornament section is a fight scene analysis of a short altercation from the 1991 film between Cliff (Bill Campbell) and Lothar (Tiny Ron). As before, the clip will be playing in the background with commentating occurring in real time.  I’m actually watching it at 1/4 speed in the episode. Cliff loses his weapon (in this case, a Mauser C96 pistol) and has to improvise – in this case, using his rocket pack to accelerate his flying tackle).🚀⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #finheads #davestevens #rocketeer #rocketeercomics #rocketeerpack #rocketeerhelmet #cliffsecord #bettiepage #ww2 #rocketmen #docsavage #comics #1930s #1940s #1980s #1991 #disney #rocketeertotherescue #topps #tradingcards #billycampbell #billcampbell #alanarkin #jenniferconnelly #timothydalton #tinyron #rondohutton #joejohnston #comicbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B__LxQUFkrG/?igshid=177vc3j6erzva

📖[🎸]🏹🤸🏼‍♂️[🌈] An excerpt from “I’ll Fly Away,” the song featured in this week’s podcast episode written to accompany a section of The Thirteenth Hour whee Logan first takes time the air in a magical hoverboard - giving him an unbelievable amount of freedom and ability to travel from one place to the next at the expense of inducing a few grey hairs, just like when the Rocketeer first took to the skies. I was inspired by how Cliff’s rocket pack in the film not only had an indeterminate fuel supply, making it constantly dangerous to fly, but was literally patched together with chewing gum. It was Beeman’s, the lucky gym of fliers, but still, that’s a hell of a thing to trust your life to! Definitely need some prayers to keep it together, hence the words “a dream and a prayer” above.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #songwriters #finheads #davestevens #rocketeer #rocketeercomics #rocketeerpack #cliffsecord #longago13 #rocketeertotherescue #billycampbell #billcampbell #alanarkin #jenniferconnelly #timothydalton #tinyron #rondohutton #joejohnston #comicbooks #musicians #songwriter #instamusic #singersofinstagram #musician #singersongwriter #singersongwriters #singersongwriterproducer #singersongwriterlife #singersongwritersofinstagram #singersongwriterproducers #beemansgum https://www.instagram.com/p/B-sYOdpFpNY/?igshid=11kmendjjnv0l

[👾🎤]📖🎸🏹🤸🏼‍♂️🌈 Rocketeer Recap! In the Like a Hood Ornament segment of The Thirteenth Hour podcast episode 242, I’m reading from some notes Dave Stevens made going into the psychological underpinnings of his characters, especially Cliff, who is portrayed in a flawed, but very human and easily identifiable way. If you can procure a copy of The Rocketeer: The Complete Deluxe Edition, you can find these notes plus lots of other great behind the scenes info into the creation of the comic which was really over a decade in the making. 🚀⠀This is the cover and colorized scene from the storyboard sketch posted yesterday. By the way - this version is currently out of print, so unless you want to pay exorbitant prices, look for used versions on Amazon and eBay. Look for more this week! .⠀ #finheads #davestevens #rocketeer #rocketeercomics #rocketeerpack #rocketeerhelmet #cliffsecord #bettiepage #ww2 #rocketmen #docsavage #comics #1930s #1940s #1980s #1991 #disney #rocketeertotherescue #topps #tradingcards #billycampbell #billcampbell #alanarkin #jenniferconnelly #timothydalton #tinyron #rondohutton #joejohnston #comicbooks ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-nIpu6lGD7/?igshid=5b1h8ln3vo8k

It was a pleasant surprise cleaning out an old drawer and finding these old #Rocketeer trading cards released around the time of the movie. Interestingly, one of the cards refers to a scene that was never filmed (but I think was in the script and the comic adaptation), where the Rocketeer lands in wet cement at what was then called Grauman’s Chinese Theater. . . . #finheads #davestevens #rocketeer #rocketeercomics #rocketeerpack #rocketeerhelmet #cliffsecord #bettiepage #ww2 #rocketmen #docsavage #comics #1930s #1940s #1980s #1991 #disney #rocketeertotherescue #topps #tradingcards #billycampbell #mannchinesetheater #tclchinesetheatre #graumanschinesetheatre https://www.instagram.com/p/B6BwQ-OBlD_/?igshid=16jwuzp37pdvx
