Dave's been one of my favorite artists for years, and a fellow Bettie Page fan.



He is most famous for creating The Rocketeer and for his pin-up style drawings of women. He was the first to win the Russ Manning Award in 1982. His first professional comic work was inking Russ Manning's pencils for the daily Tarzan comic strips.

Got to meet Dave and get an autographed Rocketeer print at the 2005 San Diego Comicon.
