First Appearance: Boy Comics #80, 1952
History: Young F.B.I agent William Rockwell is handed the assignment to guard Dr. Frank Liebert as he constructs the first moon rocket.

He is assigned the codename Rocky X; his assistant, Simpson Smith, is assigned the codename Simpson G. The company had high hopes for this character, I think, as he faced The Claw in issues #89 to #92 and Wally Wood subbed on the feature in Boy Comics #93 (thanks to Arthur Lortie for scans). In Boy Comics No. 100, Rockwell turns in his Rocketeer uniform to resume his career as an F.B.I. agent.

Scoop Scuttle

From Mike Benton's book: [Basil Wolverton] was ... at work on a proposed humor strip for United Features Syndicate called "Scoop Scuttle," about a bungling reporter, which was loosely inspired by his own short journalist career. The strip, however, was nixed by the newspaper syndicate ("Scoop was scuttled"), but Wolverton got his candid-camera reporter into the comic books with a series for ... Silver Streak Comics (April 1942). Scoop pounded a beat for "The Daily Dally" and worked for Frantic Fred the City Ed (who once referred to him as "a half-witted hammer-head who hacks out headline horseplay"). Occasionally Scoop does scoop the competition and Frantic Fred tells him: "Great going Scoop! You're indispensible!" To which the reporter replies: "And what's more, this paper can't get along without me!"
