Lot #28:

The Rocketeer (1991) - Original Newspaper Collection

Set of three Los Angeles Examiner Newspapers from Joe Johnston’s 1991 action-adventure movie The Rocketeer. Cliff Secord (Bill Campbell) is a cocky stunt pilot in love with a beautiful actress, Jenny Blake (Jennifer Connelly). When he discovers a jet pack hidden in a biplane, Cliff straps on the rocket, dons a flashy helmet and becomes the high-flying hero known as The Rocketeer. But when Nazis want to use the rocket as a weapon, Cliff must use his alter ego to both protect Jenny from an evil actor (Timothy Dalton) and save the day in this period adventure based on the comic books by Dave Stevens. Newspapers of this style were distributed after Cliff (Bill Campbell) appeared as the Rocketeer for the first time to save a life at Bigelow’s Air Circus. Each newspaper features different headlines: “Man Flies Without Plane”; “Flying Man Saves Pilot”; and “Who is The Rocketeer?”. All three newspapers show creasing, edge wear and signs of color fading due to age. This lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Studio Auctions.
