Dave Stevens, creator, author and illustrator of The Rocketeer comics, has passed away. He was in his early 50's and died of leukemia.

 

Most people know of the Disney film The Rocketeer, which was a fine adaptation, but it was Stevens comics of The Rocketeer that I was fond of. He was a great artist with a unique style and had an eye for the past by bringing in old Hollywood actors/characters into his stories. He is also credited with the revival of Bettie Page as he based Cliff's girlfriend in the Rocketeer stories on her.
