Watching The Rocketeer many times when I was young made a big impression on me. It exposed me to a whole different world of pop culture. There was the influence of pulps, Betty Page and RKO serials. The idea that a deliberate aesthetic can fuel a story was a big idea for me. Not that I was thinking that way when I was eight. I was probably thinking "jet packs are cool!" For that I have to thank Dave Stevens. Permanent Link: 2:20 PM |
