This month on All Star Superfan Podcast, hosts Alan and Rob are joined by Stephen Mooney, celebrated Irish creator of the Half Past Danger series of comic books and the writer and artist behind the most recent run of The Rocketeer, for an in-depth journey into the world of The Rocketeer.
Together, they explore the history of the character's creation, from Dave Stevens' original 1980 comic creation to its cultural impact, and the meticulous artistry that made it iconic.
The discussion then lifts off into the 1991 Disney film adaptation, analysing its production, storytelling, and how it captured the spirit of Stevens' work.
Stephen Mooney also shares insights into his career and creative inspirations and what it takes to make it in the comic book industry today.
