However you first discovered Dave Stevens' work, either in comics, through Bettie Page or through the Rocketeer movie, it opened your eyes to the way comic art and illustration should be. This film does the same for the man, showing us the person behind the brush, honestly and candidly, through conversations with his friends and peers. They tell the stories that enlighten us about who Dave was, and why he was so demanding about his work. And boy, this film delivers on the artwork! The filmmaker showcase Dave's stunning brushwork, from childhood sketches to oil painting, to his famous pieces (Wow!). I never had the opportunity to meet Dave, but through this film I have a pretty vision of the man and his artistic visions.
