Peevy and Rose narrowly survived the U-boat attack on San Francisco, but as witnesses to the danger, they are now targets! For Cliff to protect his friends, he’s going to need to rely on special allies, including a mysterious figure from his past who previously had designs of his own for the rocket pack. Defeating the enemy will require some desperate measures, including the previously unthinkable—breaking into Alcatraz!

The Rocketeer storms the City by the Bay! With Betty about to start work on a new film, Cliff and Peevy join the aspiring starlet on a trip to San Francisco, where they liaise with fellow pilot and friend (and government operative) Debbie Seville. As always, trouble seems to follow Cliff, who gets caught up in a cable car accident! But at least it’ll be all smooth sailing after that, right? Not if the Rocketeer’s luck stays true to form! The first issue in a four-issue miniseries written by fan-favorite writer Stephen Mooney (Rocketeer: The Great Race, Half Past Danger) and drawn by Staz Johnson (Robin, Catwoman)!

Cliff’s intentions were pure this time—they really were. All he wanted to do was accompany his gal, Betty, to the City by the Bay to shoot her new movie and keep himself outta trouble. Well, trouble had other ideas! The Rocketeer finds himself up against three Nazi U-Boats, which have launched a covert surprise attack on the Golden Gate Bridge. And what could they possibly want with the Rock, a.k.a. Alcatraz? And why is the Rocketeer at the very center of their plans?!

Summer, 1943, and in the midst of a war waged by monsters, Staff Sergeant Tommy "Irish" Flynn never expected to encounter a real one. But on a remote island in the South Pacific theatre, Flynn and his squad come face-to-fanged-face with creatures long thought dead. As the world falls apart, a unique set of characters come together: An embittered Irishman in a war not his own, a beautiful and enigmatic British agent, a U.S. Marine Captain with incredible resilience and a secret, and a mysterious operative from the land of the Rising Sun, all served up in a stew of piping-hot Nazi intrigue. History meets Prehistory in this two-fisted race against time. And there ain’t no time like Half Past Danger!

Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer was an instant hit the moment it hit the spinner rack in the earl 1980s. Stevens' lush and distinctive artwork and fun, action-driven story was inspired by the adventure pulp novels of the era The Rocketeer was set in. Stevens produced only two Rocketeer graphic novels - collected to much acclaim by IDW - and his life was tragically cut short when he succumbed to Hairy Cell Leukemia. Now, with the full cooperation of the Stevens estate, IDW is pleased to present new interpretations of The Rocketeer by some of today's finest talents. So, pull up a chair, sit down a while, and discover The Rocketeer all over again!
