Prince Namor Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I was lucky enough to snag a number of great Steven's covers this weekend at Heroes for $1 each. Several should come back as 9.8s. Amazing that such amazing high quality material can still be found in dollar bins nearly 25 years later. For those of you who never read it, I highly recommend the book "Brush with Passion, the Art and Life of Dave Stevens". The 1st Edition hard cover is out of print and can run you as much as $300 to track down, but I believe a soft cover is on the way. Amazing, amazing stuff by a really great guy. I was talking to a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago about Dave Stevens and mentioned that I wish I could find an affordable copy of this book. He just happened to have an extra copy he sold to me for $40, still in the cellophane! Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I respect if someone is trying to make money at this hobby. But RJ seems to boost a book quite high. But at least when you get a book from him, it comes with a certicate to validate it came from the "BEST COLLECTION IN THE WORLD!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 They are tough to find in the wild, though . . . VI 2 is a tough book to find in high grade for some reason. Any I found are usually beat up. I was floored when I picked up that copy from Heritage. $36 w/Buyer's Premium is low for that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 There's something about the cover that adds an E. to the list of why folks want this book. This book feels the same way - but I can't put my finger on it just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I got a copy years later. Trust me - this cover is better than what the two masters did together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
