Behind a previously unpublished cover, CBC #40 celebrates the life and art of the great Dave Stevens in a special double-sized issue completely devoted to the late artist! For this deluxe issue, friends, fans, and family share testimonials, photos, and fascinating artifacts, plus a gallery of amazing artwork by the Rocketeer creator, some never before seen. There's also three interviews with Dave conducted by CBC editor Jon B. Cooke, two Q+A’s with Dave by guest associate editor Steven C. Ringgenberg, and Jeff Gelb’s conversation with the artist recorded during the making of The Rocketeer motion picture. Dave’s sister Jennifer Bawcum shares about her brother in an exclusive chat, and we also interview some of Dave’s closest friends, including Michael W. Kaluta, about their memories of the man. Plus: a conversation with Kelvin Mao, the director of the 2022 film documentary, Dave Stevens: Drawn To Perfection, about making the movie and its recent success on streaming services, which has resulted in an entirely new generation of Dave Stevens fans.
