Celebrate the legacy of Dave Stevens and his iconic indie comic creation, The Rocketeer, with a stunning deck of cards designed by Paul Roman Martinez. This project highlights Stevens’ original art from the groundbreaking first issues of his dieselpunk hero’s adventures, showcasing his impeccable linework and attention to detail.
Paul Roman Martinez, creator of The Adventures of the 19XX graphic novel series, considers this his dream project, a culmination of years of passion and dedication. Having worked on licensed creations like the Rocketeer statue for Mondo, this marks his second deck of cards following the success of his Flight Deck. Fans of Paul’s work can expect the same premium quality and design expertise in this deck.
Produced with the blessing of the Rocketeer Trust, these playing cards are crafted to the highest standards. Each tuck box features embossing and metallic foil, ensuring a luxurious finish. The cards themselves spotlight close-up views of Stevens’ artwork, with some pieces framed in their original comic book page settings to honor their roots.
Whether you discovered the Rocketeer through the beloved 1990s Disney movie, IDW’s continuation of Stevens’ work, or perhaps met the artist himself at a San Diego Comic-Con, this deck is a tribute to the magic and artistry that made The Rocketeer a timeless classic. Designed for collectors, card enthusiasts, and fans of the comic, these cards bring the spirit of Dave Stevens’ creation to life.
