I Miss Dave (Stevens, that is) 9 9

[Bronty]

Nice to see all the interest lately.    Is it due to the documentary, or just growth in interest?

A few pics I took after a friend pointed me to a facebook group.    Everything was $5 or less at the time (probably $2 average?) and I just bought doubles because I liked them.   The Bettie Pages I bought off the stands.

Stevens inks the first story, three pages.

Great book.    I haven't read it in a long time, but I recall the story being terrific.   I think its a Marilyn Monroe in space thing if I remember.

Terrific book.   Never saw a copy available at brick and mortar back in the day.

What does Stevens have in the 3D Alien Terror?  GCD doesn't show anything.

Yeah I think I just got confused.   I remembered it as having Stevens interiors but I think that's my mistake.     I don't see anyone else posting their copies

btw, can we agree on Grendel 4 as the worst cover he has credits on?   Woof.

I'm pouring over the Grand Comics Database for Stevens work I'm missing and spotting a few little holes... like that one.  I think the only non-reprint, non-advertisement work in US Comics (not comic-related magazines) by Stevens that I'm missing still is Planet Comics 1, 3D Zone 16, and TV Stars 3.  There really isn't that much out there.

Oh, and I'm debating if his art retouching credit in the A List Jungle Comics 1 counts.  I don't have that.

with other bargain bin dives deeming it worthy, I sent that Alien Worlds Three-Dimensional to get a press and grade with CGC.  

It just checked in today,  , so about in 30 bus days, I'll post up Lord Willing.

Quite a detailed Stevens interview printed by Two Morrows Publishing re: Schanes Bros., Bettie Page, Pacific Comics, Evanier, Comico, etc. Dave Stevens speaks.

Revisiting this thread reminds me how bad it is for my bank account.
