THE ROCKETEER The Life and Legacy of Dave Stevens

The Cartoon Art Museum has assembled a selection of original artwork that spans the breadth of Stevens’s artistic development, from his early days in animation through his career as a storyboard artist through his groundbreaking comic books. This exhibit catalog is based on The Rocketeer: The Life and Legacy of Dave Stevens retrospective celebrating the life and artistry of the legendary creator displayed September 2023 to June 2024. A catalog featuring highlights from this exhibition and from the summer 2023 Dave Stevens Tribute Auction, including works from more than 30 artists paying homage to Stevens and The Rocketeer, will be published by the Cartoon Art Museum in the fall of 2024. With the full cooperation of The Rocketeer Trust, which oversees Stevens's archives and his creative legacy, and Stevens’s sister, Jennifer Stevens-Bawcum.
