As fans we all knew that Dave's art was a little slow in coming, and of course we all knew the reasons why and completely understood. It just wouldn't be his art without the painstaking amount of detail and time that went into every piece. My first introduction to his art was in the back of Pacific Presents (Starslayer, Groo, etc) and I completely fell in love with it. Gradually I began acquiring pieces of his art and began to amass quite a collection ( I still have every piece). One eveing my wife and I were planning on the artwork for our family room. Her comment to me was lets put up some comic art, cause I know how much your into it. One by one (and at that time there weren't many pieces) I began to show her some of my pieces. I had quite a few of his "posters" and one special lithograph. It was the rocketeer with Betty tied up thrown over his shoulder. (to this day I wish I had gotten Betty's boudair). Imagine my surprise when my wife's only words were "I love it." My family room began to become decorated with Stevens art, with that one print as the centerpiece. Rocketeer, his famous gun drawn, Betty thrown over his shoulders, hands and feet bound, gag on her mouth, and the infamous rear for all to see. My wife (who by the way doesn't like comics at all) loved it. That year I made it to a comic con, where he was sitting at a table by himself, and we spoke briefly as I kept pushing comics in front of him for him to sign. He was a gentleman beyond compare. I guess I should have know something was up when earlier this year we both decided to start taking down the Stevens art and replacing it with some more traditional pieces. Time to move on I guess, or was it Mr. Stevens telling me it is time to move on. The man we all loved, even those that never met him, will be missed. May you forever rest in peace.

During this period of time I also had the pleasure of meeting Dave Stevens. Although our meeting was a very brief one, he left a lasting favorable impression upon me. He was one of the finest comic artists that I ever had the pleasure to meet. I realize that a period of time has passed since his death was announced and my posting this message. It has been nearly 22 1/2 years since Comics & Comix and I parted company and my life's path has gone into an entirely different direction. On a number of occaisions, I find myelf wandering into Outer Limits Comic Shop in Murfreesboro TN. I look at the titles that are now being published and I might find a version of a Rocketeer type comic, however it is not draw by Dave Stevens. I see a book titled "The Spirit", however down deep it is not drawn by Will Eisner. I look to see if I can find that great Jack Kirby look that I miss from the late 1950's to early 1960's. What I refer to is the Jack Kirby pencilled and Roz Kirby inked Green Arrow strips from Adventure Comics and from Worlds Finest. I also miss seeing art work by Joe Staton, Like the pencil and inked drawing that he did for me of the Huntress and the Dark Albatross together again. As I sign off from this message, I still have to put in two shameless plugs as I miss seeing more of Steve Moncuse's early Fish Police from our time together at Comics & Comix in Berkeley. Finally I have to say that I still miss seeing some of the early art work Steve Wozniak and his Areba Kola from late 1976 to February 1977 from the Columbus Street Branch of Comics & Comix in San Francisco. I, also, used to Manage a Store for Comics & Comix in the late 1970’s and into the mid 1980’s. During this period of time I also had the pleasure of meeting Dave Stevens.

Cat Yronwode once told me that Dave was unique among cartoonists because he wore clothes that fit him, which sounds like a sorry compliment, but Dave did stand out among the cartoonists of that time for paying a lot of attention to his appearance — Cliff Secord, the hero of the Rocketeer, was obviously based visually on Dave. It didn’t come off as vanity, but wanting to give an appearance that went with the art. It was part of his esthetic.

Dave's the first of what I think of as my generation/group of comics friends to be taken from us, one of the friends i have made through my involvement in this wonderful hobby and interest. Knowing I won't be seeing him around SDCC again - even though I have known that for a while, really - makes the world a sadder place. His humility and privacy contrasted so much with the bursting energy and sexuality of his art. Dave, if you're reading this i hope heaven is a studio full of pretty models for you to draw!

That made me think of Rocketeer and Dave Stevens. Rocketeer was the first (and last) comic book series that I had gotten into. I thought the movie, like the comic, was great. also, I had seen the story boards for Raiders as well. Weird coincidence that his name came into my head...and just really sorry to hear this news. a terrific artist.
