    Next time I’ll make sure I’m fully awake. And I can’t believe I hugged my Rocketeer book! Oh wait I love that book.

    Spot-on review!  Your enthusiasm and love for the material is apparent, a love for the work that I share.  I, too, became hooked on The Rocketeer after viewing the movie when I was 16.  I tried to track down as many issues as I could, but I could only find two of Cliff’s New York Adventure.  I remember the credits of the movie stating that it was based off of a “graphic novel”, and anxiously waited years for the release of a compilation.  I agree, the deluxe version IDW’s compilation is a beautiful work of art, and I highly, highly suggest it!  Also, although the third story was strong as well, it did suffer from the lack of Cliff’s presence.  However, I REALLY enjoyed the idea of Cliff participating in World War II.  I believe that event offers a plethora of potentially amazing storylines that I hope other authors take advantage of in the future.  Great review!!!

    @dentonkenobi  I really wish I could go back and add something to this review. This review was done on the first read and I think that story in particular really needed a second read. It had a warmth that was lost on a me the first time where I was reading it and saying “Wait this is different!” instead of seeing that story as a unique viewpoint in the life of Betty.
