Another great comics legend passes at the young age of 52
Dave Stevens artwork is some of the most iconic in the last 20-30 years.
He will be mainly known as the creator of THE ROCKETEER, but it was his pin-up art that will be the forefront for me. Using Bettie Page as inspiration and being personally responsible for her revival after many thought her dead, his pin-up works were THE bar in the 80's and early 90's.
He got his start doing Tarzan strips and moved on to storyboards for Hanna Barbara for such notables as The Godzilla Power Hour and Super Friends.
Reading up on his death I learned that he was fighting a long, hard battle with leukemia that he kept quiet except for close friends and family.
He passed away due to complications last Monday.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Stevens.
