In 1937, Amelia Earhart went missing on her flight around the world. One year later, the Rocketeer is on a mission to find and rescue her! After a rocky voyage, the Rocketeer and his crew dock on a mysterious island in the area where Amelia was last heard from. Immediately, they discover strange creatures that could just be real-life dinosaurs! Well, facing giant carnivorous monsters has to be better than staying on the ship with Betty and her cheesecake photographer, Marco…right? John Layman (Chew, Spawn: The Scorched) and Jacob Edgar (Plastic Man: No More, The Ones) continue their thrilling new series based on a story by Dave Stevens!
