Dave Stevens (born July 29 , 1955 ) in Lynwood , California is an American Illustrator and Comics artist. He is most famous for creating '' The Rocketeer '' and for his Pin-up style drawings of women. He was the first to win the Russ Manning Award in 1982. PROFESSIONAL WORK His first professional comic work was inking Russ Manning 's pencils for the daily Tarzan comic strips. THE ROCKETEER It was The Rocketeer comic he began in 1982 that really brought him to the forefront. Many loved how he merged classic pulp fiction heroes like Doc Savage and The Shadow into the narration. The first adventure was collected together by Eclipse Comics (ISBN 1560600888). The fifth chapter ended in a cliffhanger. The story picked up again in the ''Rocketeer Adventure Magazine''. Two issues were published by Comico Comics in 1988 and 1989, but the third did not appear until years later, published by Dark Horse Comics in 1995 . All three issues were collected by Dark Horse as ''The Rocketeer: Cliff's New York Adventure'' (ISBN 1569710929). COVER ARTIST He now is highly regarded for his work as a cover artist. Many cherish his Jonny Quest covers he did for Comico. EXTERNAL LINK Official site |
