Episode Details

Your hosts Dr. Dean Bertram and Jason McLean are back in the audio-visual wing of the Mysterious Library. This week they check out the uplifting documentary: DAVE STEVENS: DRAWN TO PERFECTION from director Kelvin Mao. The film examines the life of Dave Stevens, who created The Rocketeer and reintroduced the world to 50's pin-up model Bettie Page. While carving out his own unique corner of importance in comic book and illustration art, Dave showed the world what it's like to pursue the life of a creative individual. Jason, who is also a comic book writer and artist, will be sharing his insights about the importance of Stevens, and his influence on the comic book and fantasy/sci-fi illustration scene. Join your Mysterious Librarians as they shift gears to explore the magic of the creative process, and its potential to alter our world.
