*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980s: Dave Stevens, creator of the Rocketeer, was a true fan favourite artist and superb exponent of what was (and maybe still is?) called Good Girl Art. His work graced the covers (but few interiors) of dozens of comics from the late 1970s on into the 1990s and beyond, as he grew more into the areas of portfolios, prints and commercial art. Much of his work bordered on the risqué and exploitative (and sometimes crossed that border), but the best of it was truly stunning. A great loss to the comic world when he died at 52 in 2008. These days comics with his covers are in demand at premium prices. Here’s his take on Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, the iconic horror hostess, in her run on the House Of Mystery title in its Giant-Size Halloween Spectacular. This is a nice copy, with only very minor spine stress and edge wear, glossy with great colours, white pages and tight, firm staples. It is slightly marred by a couple of short colour-breaking creases across the bottom right corner, but these are over blurb and do not detract from the striking cover image.
