Just a master with the brush.

Dave Stevens was an amazing and extremely underrated genius artist. Thanks for sharing!

Hey thanks for this I’m just recently discovering Dave Stevens… my favorite so far is his alien worlds 1 cover

Dave Stevens was possibly the greatest cheesecake pin-up artist of his generation. He could have easily just made a career doing pinups and illustrations and storyboards for movies but he blessed the comic book world with the throwback Rocketeer character. He is also an under-rated inker. I have this book as well and it was a joy to try to see what background and extras were done by other artists helping Stevens on the deadlines: Arthur Adams and Jamie Hernandez just to name a few. Great video. thanks. I look forward to your HAVANK review please =)

I have this edition as well as the originals and the cover you were wondering about at 17:35 was actually cropped on the bottom.

I have the Artisan Edition of this, as well as the Brazilian "graphic novel" with the first story, in color. I talked about this recently in a Portuguese livestream, if we should have a collection of American indy classics in Portugal, and I suggested that, if we did, this Rocketeer volume would have to be the first one.

Good Hernandez sleuthing! I hadn’t noticed before but now Steven's style reminds me a lot of Frank Frazetta's old comics work. I hope you won’t hold it against me that my super powers do come from some cosmic crystal…

...aaaahhhh Milan, du weißt genau, wie du mich zum Heulen bringst.🤣 Wie cool ist das denn bitte? Eine Artist Edition vom "Rocketeer" und ich muss sagen, als reines b&w Artwork gefällt mir das Ganze noch um Längen besser. Sehr schöne Ausgabe, die du da ergattert hast. Zusammen mit der Figur ein echter Hingucker! Mach dir ein schönes Wochenende. Carsten

Hi Earl Grey. Will you review Vuzz (Druilliet) and the book Elfric, also a work of druilliet? Vuzz needs to be released by titan books. But just letting you know 🙋🏽‍♂️.

This looks amazing, was wondering how's the binding before purchasing it?

Sorry for adding a comment which has nothing to do with Dave Stevens whatsoever! You have the most amazingly eclectic taste imaginable, but there are a few artists or writer/artists you never talk about: a few examples: the Mutanten crowd, for instance, Martin tom Dieck and Anke Feuchtenberger, Edmond Baudoin, Fabrice Neaud, David B., Marjane Satrapi, Yoshiharu Tsuge, the Frémok artists (Yvan Alagbé and Dominique Goblet, for instance), etc... Their work doesn't interest you?
