Am 1. September hatte ich bereits berichtet, dass Buena Vista / Disney am 13. Dezember 2011 die Comic-Verfilmung “Rocketeer / The Rocketeer” [USA 1991] von Joe Johnston auf Blu-ray veröffentlichen wird. Mittlerweile ist dazu eine Pressemitteilung erschienen. Leider wird die “20th Anniversary Edition” keinerlei Bonusmaterialien bieten.
