I have been a fan of Dave Stevens since I first discovered The Rocketeer, which has become the standard against which I measure other comics. I have everything else that I know of that Stevens has done, but I don't know if my list is complete. The list is below. If anyone knows of other published works by Dave Stevens, please mail me the information. I'll summarize any additions to the net. A short biography in one of the Starslayer issues states that Stevens has done work in advertising, and on storyboards for movies (including Raiders of the Lost Ark). He was employed for a while in 1977 at Sanrio studios doing a comic "for Japanese audiences" called Aurora. I wonder if any Aurora work survives other than the story in Alien Worlds #2? It also mentions that he is working on art for his own animated movie! Other news is that Starstruck is slated (according to info in the last Epic issue) to appear as the backup feature in The Rocketeer, which seems to indicate that further issues are in the works. For anyone who hasn't read The Rocketeer, I most highly recommend the graphic novel, which collects all five previously printed chapters, plus some extra pages that didn't originally appear.

I assumed (possibly incorrectly) that the reason Ms. Lee mentioned "The Rocketeer" was because she couldn't explicitly name the competitor which she was defecting to (in this case, her reference to "The Rocketeer" was a pointer to ECLIPSE Comics). This seems quite reasonable in view of the tyranny that Jim Shooter has held over Marvel Comics. Also, Dave Stevens is a notoriously slow worker -- which is fine by me as long as he keeps the quality in his work. This is reminiscent of Neal Adams (who supposedly could never keep a deadline, and is carrying on the tradition with his own line of comics from CONTINUITY Associates), so I wouldn't expect a "Rocketeer" issue to appear for quite some time... And lastly, I was reading an issue of "Guitar Player Magazine" and noticed that an advertisement for some type of digital sampling system (I can't remember what brand it was off the top of my head) was drawn by none other than Dave Stevens!
