It's not too late to place your orders for The Complete Rocketeer, and very first hardcover collection of the classic strip!
Set in the 1930s, Dave Stevens' classic adventure strip pays homage to the classic pulp novels of the time. Cliff Secord is a stunt pilot who happens upon a top-secret experimental Jet pack and meets adventure head on.
In print for the first time in years, fans will have a choice of two different volumes: The Complete Rocketeer and The Rocketeer: The Complete Deluxe Edition. The Complete Rocketeer will offer both The Rocketeer and The Rocketeer: Cliff's New York Adventure in a handsome hardcover collection. In addition to the comics themselves, The Deluxe Edition will be printed in a larger format and feature 100 additional pages of sketches, preliminaries, layouts and much more. A cornucopia of Dave Stevens art, many of these treasures have never been published before and will be printed here from the original art to ensure the highest quality reproduction possible.

Mini-Marvels cartoonist Chris Giarrusso brings his superhero hit G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS to the interactive computer screen... again!
Barely a month after Chris Giarrusso released the revolutionary G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS video game, he's at it again with SUNTROOPER SQUADRON, the newest G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS video game!
"The original G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS video game had a game engine which allowed players to move both left and right," Giarrusso said. "With G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS: SUNTROOPER SQUADRON, players can now also move up and down, literally exploring every square inch of the screen. This radical shift in gameplay may be shocking at first, but that's what the evolution of classic old-school 8-bit style video gaming is all about."
G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS: SUNTROOPER SQUADRON recreates the opening events of G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS #2, wherein G-Man's legendary ally, Suntrooper, faces an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. Players will virtually don the Suntrooper's amazing solar suit and be initiated into the Suntrooper Squadron's elite space force as they, too, will battle not only asteroids, but enemy spacecraft as well! It's like the movies "Armageddon" and "Independence Day" combined into a single game. Except good.
G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS #2 (JUL090395), a 32-page full color comic book for $2.99, will be in stores September, 9th 2009. The video game may be played online at http://chrisgcomics.com/ccgame2.html
