He wrote the book intro and was a good friend and fan of Dave Stevens.

If we were on the West Coast, we would definitely be there.

On the IDW site, Chris Ryall’s blog shows some great spreads from the deluxe version of the book. I’ve waited a long time for this, the book looks stunning. I can’t wait to get my copy. Do people still remember The Rocketeer, outside the movie of course?

Thomas Jane and Dave Stevens were good friends during the last few years of Dave’s life.
This book is gorgeous, especially the deluxe edition!

Jackie – I think it’s nice of Thomas Jane to participate, I just thought it was a funny choice of photo for the event.
It’s probably one of his “I’m a badass” photos for the casting directors. But, yeah, they could have chosen a happier shot.
