Dave Stevens, the artist of the Rocketeer, died yesterday at age 52. Stevens had dropped out of sight for the most part in recent years and had been battling leukemia, a fact which he kept as private as possible.

Damn...I really loved his work at Kitchen Sink; his style was very 40's. He'll be missed.

Never saw the movie. But yeah, his art was very good. Kinda young to die, too. :(

Yeah, and she never looked better than in that flick. Kind of like Cameron Diaz in 'The Mask'; it's just spectacular.
