Brush With Passion: The Art And Life Of Dave Stevens - Diamond Exclusive Collector's Edition


This Diamond Exclusive Collector's Edition has 16 extra pages of art (28 images) and a slipcase and is limited to 2000 copies. It quickly sold out and is out-of-print in this edition.

From the publisher:

"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 Along with a wealth of iconic paintings and previously unpublished artwork, the book features commentary by comic book greats Todd Schorr, Richard Hescox, Michael William Kaluta, and William Stout."
