Dave Stevens Passes Away...
Dave Stevens passed away March 10th 2008 from his battle with leukemia. Dave's works have been mentioned several times in our Blog, as he is widely known for the Rocketeer in comics and film. Plus he basically brought back Betty (Bettie)Page into pop culture when he started drawing her likeness in his comics! Dave was only 52 years old at his passing. He was the first receipient of the Russ Manning Artist Award in 1982, and was well known for his 'Good Girl Art'. His first published work was inking Russ Manning's comic strip 'Tarzan' in 1975. He went on to work at Hanna-Barbera in 1977 drawing storyboards for TV Shows 'Super-Friends' and 'The Godzilla Power Hour'. In 1982 he went on to create his most widely known character, which later became a Disney Film Feature. He will be missed but his works live on...
