I Miss Dave (Stevens, that is)
9 9

finally found a reasonably priced copy of the 3-D Zone #16 Space Vixens book. It was in the adult section of eBay with no mention of Dave Stevens, so I got it and three other books for $2.99 plus shipping. Sadly, when I received it, the book was about a VG if that with a large back cover crease. Also, the seller had no idea how to package comics to ship, taping the bagged and boarded stack of four books together and just sticking them in a brown envelope. I guess the search for a decent copy continues.

I'll take a reader copy of 3-D Zone 16 if you don't want it.

 

I will keep it for now since it's the only copy of the book I have, but if I ever land a better condition copy, I'll keep you in mind.

Finally, a program from the Rocketeer movie. Not sure if it was actually used in the movie.

It is always fun to get a box back from CGC. I went through my Dave Stevens books and tried to pick out copies that would go 9.8. So here are the ones that let me down, but it is hard to be disappointed with a great Dave Steven's cover.

 

Black Angel's have been tough - I think the jet black back is a killer.

This book was signed by Stevens and Silke. I am not sure if the signatures affected the grade, but Stevens signature books are sweet.

I am really stoked about this pair of books. CGC graded the first a qualified 9.8 because of Dave Steven's signature and numbering on the back cover, so I am including the scan of the back cover. It's twin is a regular 9.8, and I like the sequential numbering.

Got another box back from CGC. Anyone need a nice set of Cheval Noirs? I thought that they were all no-brainers, maybe CGC has tightened some.

#1, 2, and 4 are proofs used in production of the publications.

Basically, it's a proof that's generated to show what the piece will look like when printed.

It's created by the printer and mailed to the publisher for approval.

The publisher approves and mails it back and the guys running the press try to make their color match the approved proof.
