This out-of-print deluxe slipcased hardcover edition has a large 8.25 x 12.25 page format AND an additional 128 pages not included in the trade edition. The additional pages reproduce Stevens' story notes, sketches, character designs, page layouts, other preliminary art, and fine photographic reproductions of selected finished pages (the better to appreciate Stevens' artwork).

From the publisher:

The phenomenally popular Rocketeer by the legendary Dave Stevens is collected in its entirety for the first time as an oversized hardcover, in a beautiful slipcase, including hundreds of never-before-seen Rocketeer drawings and preliminaries by Dave Stevens! This impressive collection combines The Rocketeer and The Rocketeer: Cliff's New York Adventure into a single volume, completely re-colored, as per Dave Stevens' wishes, by renowned colorist Laura Martin. The best possible reproduction and the highest production values will ensure that this is the definitive Rocketeer collection. Additionally, hundreds of drawings, sketches, and preliminaries by Dave Stevens, nearly all published here for the very first time, will make this a very special book.
