Dave Stevens was a once-in-a-lifetime artist who created the hit comic book series The Rocketeer that reintroduced the world to '50s pin-up queen Bettie Page and was adapted into a beloved feature film. Dave carried with him a style born of 1930s American Pop Culture, an era he never experienced firsthand, but lived on in his heart and through his illustrations. His award-winning, 35-year career spanned advertising, comics, animation, movies, and TV working with luminaries like Jack Kirby, Doug Wildey, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, John Landis, and Joe Johnston. Widely considered one of the best illustrators of his generation, Dave Stevens lived life the way he drew, meticulously pursuing a perfection he saw in his mind. His elegant brush work and iconic imagery continue to attract fans and inspire new generations of artists.

Ziggy D Well executed and entertaining documentary. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Anachronic C Wonderfully poignant biography of one of most revered comic book artists of his time. Informative, yet not stogy. You get to know the man, his successes, his failures and why is was so good. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/23 Full Review Alex. W A tasteful and engaging documentary tribute to a supremely talented perfectionist, and an insightful glimpse into the intersection between the world of comic graphic artistry and the entertainment world. Visually engaging, well-paced, and well-balanced. You feel like you get to know a man who was private and mysterious, yet well-loved by those who took the time to understand him. Highly recommended.
