For you, the question is, what is in this 272-page book?As expected, it contains all of Stevens' covers for Pacific Comics, Eclipse, Dark Horse, Comico, and other assorted publishers. These are all presented in black and white, shot from original art, and often with detailed closeups and pencil thumbnails and studies. "The Stories" section also includes, again as expected, Dave's "Aurora," "Princess Pam," and "Fair Play" stories from Pacific's Alien Worlds comic book. This book also contains some oddities and more obscure items for the discerning collector. First among these is the 12-page story "Cosmo Cat" from Quack #1, published in July 1976, this funny animal style story is claimed to be the artist's first professional published story. There's 1977's two page "My Greatest Adventure" from Fear and Laughter #1. There's also a cover and three sample pages of his work on British Tarzan comics (the book says he did eighty-one pages total!)and a couple of pages showing Stevens' inks on some Star Wars comics. A couple things I didn't know about: Stevens inking Tom Yeates on a couple pages from Jonny Quest #4 and some inks on Will Meuginot for a Marvel kiddie comic.This is all rounded out with Bettie Page pinups, Marvel T-Shirt Designs, and artwork for San Diego Comic Con programs and badges. The Complete Sketches and Studies contains some of Stevens' other commercial work, like a greeting card design and some Michael Jordan comic. So you still need that book too.Whether you're a long-time Dave Stevens fan or a neophyte, there's something in here for you. The book opens with a heart felt introduction by Adam Hughes, who sadly reminds us there's not much Stevens' art left out there. Hughes also reminds, while we mourn the loss of an artist, others mourned a true friend and family member. ### ⭐⭐⭐ I would have given this book a five star rating ... *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017* I would have given this book a five star rating but for one thing. For some reason the publishers chose to totally ruin the integrity of Dave's work byusing a large 2 page format for many of what should have been highlights of the whole book. What is the point of size when 25% of the image is lost in the spine?This has been a common practice in many large format Art books but here it really hurts. What can I say...THE SMALL OF BETTY"S BACK GOTLOST IN THE CRACK!! TWO DEMERITS. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2012* Dave Stevens was one of the best comic book and pin-up artists and with this book along with Brush With Passion, The Rocketeer Complete Deluxe Edition, and the Complete Sketchbook Collection we now have a complete retrospective of his work in book form. Covers and Stories collects all the short stories, classic covers along with sketch versions, pin-ups, prints, and other odds and ends (there's even mid 1970's artwork he drew for San Diego Comic Con souvenir programs and badges). It's amazing how in-depth this collection is and it's all beautifully printed in this hardcover collection: the classic Pacific Comics and Eclipse comics covers, several unpublished covers, Comico, Dark Horse, DC and much more. The short stories include pages where Dave was the inker (Tarzan, Star Wars), and for the Pacific Comics stories the original artwork is reproduced. The pin-ups section includes one of my all-time favorite pieces the Betty's Boudoir print in full color and so much more! For the Dave Stevens fan this is a must-have book and highly recommended. My only sadness comes in knowing that this is probably the last collection of Dave Stevens art that will be published from IDW. They've done a great job with the Dave Stevens collection and it's a superb tribute to such a talented artist. Five stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/55028660-dave-stevens-stories-and-covers](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/55028660-dave-stevens-stories-and-covers) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
