In addition, the "flip-book" format second feature to the book, GARGATARAMA- The COMIC BOOK features episodes in the continuing GTS sagas of the gentle medieval giantess ROWENA, WWII-era economy-sized crime fighter DINOSAUR GIRL, and introduces a NEW heroine who battles giant monsters eye-to-eye to save a teaming metropolitan area, the beautiful yet demonic bat-winged giantess known as... INFERNA!!! Fans of super-females in action should love BOTH halves of this book- FEMFORCE #149 and GARGANTARAMA- The COMIC BOOK #12!!!

Special Notes: Golden Age superheroes are "hot " these days- it seems whatever publisher isn't REVIVING them is reprinting the actual stories. Well, the people who did both FIRST, still do it BEST- and that's AC Comics. After 18 years of reprinting these greats of sequential storytelling, we have quite a library of stellar 1940's material, reprinted using our state-of-the-art technology, and this package is an excellent collection of re-edited stories from past efforts; sampled from NINE different now-defunct 1940's publishing houses. The stories in this collection are excellent, representative tales of top-selling star features of their day, like BLACK TERROR, SHOCK GIBSON, The TARGET, BULLETMAN and The EAGLE. True historians and casual readers alike will treasure this collection.

Men of Mystery Presents: ROCKETMAN RETURNS!: The Rocketman Collection DVD

Writer's and Artist's Names: Stars include Judd Holdren, Aline Towne, Lane Bradford, Leonard Nimoy, Tris Coffin, Mae Clarke, Don Haggerty and House Peters.
Intended Audience: This is an all-ages movie presentation for all fans of vintage action movie-serials and science-fiction films in particular- as well as anyone interested in film history or classic genre pieces from the late 1940's. Value-minded customers will like the economically-priced two-disc set, much cheaper than purchasing the two serial DVDs sets separately.
Format: This is a regions-free, all-ages live-action DVD movie presentation on four discs, shot in 1949 and 1952, in black and white, and digitally re-mastered. It is recorded in NTSC format, on four DVD-R discs, with a combined total running time of 332 minutes. It should play on any standard DVD player.
Synopsis: TWO great adventures serials starring the high-flying ROCKETMAN in one value-priced pack!! 1949's "King Of The Rocketman", and 1952's "Zombies Of The Stratosphere"; 24 action-packed chapters in all, digitally re-mastered and presented on DVD! Here's your chance to get BOTH of these vintage cliffhanger classics!!
Special Notes: The ROCKETMAN character is one of the most enduring and iconic creations to come out of the great action movie serials of the 1940's, and this low-priced combo package includes two of the hero's best-remembered outings- the debut, "King Of The Rocketman", starring Tris Coffin and Mae Clark, and "Zombies Of The Stratosphere", with Judd Holdren and Aline Towne. Both chapter plays have strong casts, amazing action sequences, and decent special-effects for their day. AC has previously released both of these DVD serials as individual products, and done well with them. This specially-priced two-pack should do even better.
