R.I.P. Dave Stevens: July 29, 1955 - March 10, 2008
Sadly, artist Dave Stevens passed away yesterday after a long battle with leukemia.
So long, Dave, and many thanks for introducing me to Ms. Bettie Page, via your greatest creation, The Rocketeer.
UPDATE: more eloquent, better-illustrated tributes here and here.
