About this product

Product Information

Brush with Passion charts the career of Dave Stevens, one of the most beloved and influential of all comic illustrators. He discusses his beginnings as a comic artist, the struggle to bring The Rocketeer to the big screen, his work as a storyboard artist for Raiders of the Lost Ark and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video, and other career highlights. Equally renowned as a pin-up artist, Stevens also recounts his friendship with reclusive model Bettie Page. Along with a wealth of iconic paintings and previously unpublished artwork, the book features commentary by comic book greats Todd Schorr, Richard Hescox, Michael William Kaluta, and William Stout.

Reviews
"Dave Stevens was the last artist of an innocent era when showing less and teasing more was the way to eroticism. He was much more than that, of course. His artwork burst with the heroic innocence and determination of an America that existed fully only on the printed page and the movie screen. Even when drawing some bondage or spanking scene, his art was human, lively, caring." - Heidi MacDonald "It's been more than 30 years during which I have stood in hang-jawed wonder and delight at Dave Stevens' singular beautification of the universe." - Harlan Ellison "Dave Stevens' brush is an alembic, distilling the essence of the past with the edge of the future, never allowing the authenticity of his nostalgia to succumb to imitation or pastiche. In other words: Hubba-hubba! We likes!" - The Wachowski Brothers "[Dave Stevens] is my best friend in the whole world, bar none!" - Bettie Page "Dave is not only a stunning craftsman but is also a master of design and form. He has an intuitive ability to capture sensuality with a few delicate lines, to make the complex and elusive look simple, yet impossible to imitate (believe me, I have tried). It is this ability to see a little deeper, this sensitive and unique vision that makes Dave Stevens a true artist among artists." - Brom, "Dave Stevens was the last artist of an innocent era when showing less and teasing more was the way to eroticism.

The condition of the book was even better than the picture indicated. With minimal effort, I was able to remove the library stickers, lightly sand off the library stamps, and now it practically looks as if I bought it brand new. Seller was also kind enough to acquiesce to my request of having the book sent in a padded box rather than a bubble mailer. Stellar seller, stellar purchase.

  • Dave Stevens last published book

    Just an amazing book on the art and history of the short life of illustrator Dave Stevens. This is a hard to find slip case edition. Whatever price you may find for this book, it is well worth it. A must-have for any fans of Dave Stevens, Rocketeer, good-girl, and Bettie Page, among many classic comic book covers and interior art.
