I Miss Dave (Stevens, that is) 9 9

I think the OA this came from has much more of a lively, fun look to the face than the statue. It's just tough sometimes conveying the same expression from pad to sculpture.

 

I think it is the difference in the eyes. The art is wide-eyed and playful looking, where the statue looks sleepy.

 

Very true, but have you seen the other ones?

Oh, good point.

I agree, the OA looks better but I still wouldn't kick that statue out of my room...

[faster friends]

I agree also, She looks high in the statue.

[OldGuy]

She looks high in the statue.

 

One could argue that this is a more accurate representation.

The "art Bettie" is also slightly curvier

Here's mine in my office at work, sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. The statue looks way better in person than in the photo's I've seen so far, also the box is nice has a big shot of the OA, and it also comes with a small sealed booklet that has the same picture as well :

Actually, I have to agree. That face looks like a different (and better) statue.

 

The photos must have come from an early prototype where they hadn't matched the eyes yet.

 

[Soloist]

Yeah, mine is 1,496 of the 1500.

 

 

Oh, and here's what's hanging above her, a signed "Wanted" print, sorry for the glare :

Just received my latest CGC order, and wanted to thank Keith/kdoginohio for supplying such Rocketeer goodness.

 

 

 

From his days when he wasn't collecting Stevens books.

Very Nice!

There are not nearly enough TMBG references made on this board.

[Jeffreykli]

Just got these in from CGC:

 

Did anyone need an Airboy #5? (I already have one):

 

 

These two are for me!

 

 

[Bosco685]

Nice!

 

[Mayor006]

Beautimus even!

Picked up Dark Horse Presents 100-1, and looks to be a very sharp example.

 

 

I have one of those on the way too. (thumbs u

 

I think I've almost run out of options for picking up new books with Dave Stevens covers (either front or back). I still need these:

 

1) Iger Comics Kingdom

2) Back Issues

3) Comic Journal #117

4) Dark Horse Insider #23

5) Madman Comics #4 (back cover)

6) Rocketeer Adventure Magazine #3

7) The Shadow and Doc Savage #2

8) Amazing Heroes #37

9) 3-D Zone #16

 

Except for a couple of other books that should pretty much cover it. (thumbs u

 

I was able to cross off 3 more books from the Dave Stevens want list (see above) and the Shadow and Doc Savage #2 is on the way. I'll post a new group shot shortly.
