American Comics Update: The Art Of Dave Stevens: Jungle Comics #1 1988
*Miscellaneous 1960 Onwards: 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 is his ultimate Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, on Blackthorne’s Jungle Comics #1 from 1988.
