Hey folks, Harry here... Growing up in the convention circuit of the 1970s, I was exposed intimately & constantly to the world of B-Movie Serials. KING OF THE ROCKETMEN was a fave. For one, the jetpack had controls so simple a child could use them - and trailers for the show even said so. These were the Superhero products of their era - and you'd get single chapters before your feature film entertainment. Well the animation team behind the great AMAZING SPIDER-MAN cartoon that use to run on Fox back in the day, they've all gotten together with an INDIEGOGO campaign to do ROCKET MAN for a new age. Creating a Rocket Man adventure series called WAR OF THE ROCKETMEN, but in this video - I spy a ROCKETWOMAN too! Around the 6:30 mark in the video is when the storyboard animatic begins and that's pure brain candy!
See... cool, eh? More details can be found over at WaroftheRocketMen.com - but here's their snazzy one sheet:
Which reminds me of the original seriel poster:
Alright - if those two posters have you fired up, here's the original 12 part Serial for KING OF THE ROCKET MEN - which is just pure happy sauce:
Keep it cool,
Harry
