Description: This is a high-grade double-signed copy of The Rocketeer Special Edition #1, published by Eclipse Comics in November 1984. William Stout signed and inscribed his pin-up page in the top margin. Mike Kaluta signed his pin-up (on the back cover) at the bottom center. This book is from my personal collection. Both artists signed the book for me in 1991, at a Great Eastern comic book convention in New York City. In addition to an original Rocketeer story written and drawn by Dave Stevens this issue also features a pin-up gallery with artwork by Gray Morrow, Doug Wildey, Murphy Anderson, George Freeman, William Stout, Russ Heath, Al Williamson, Bruce Jones, and Mike Kaluta (back cover). This book was recently cleaned and pressed by Carter & Span Comic Services in Los Angeles. Photos are the actual book. Please ask any questions before making a purchase.
