Brush with Passion is the ultimate Dave Stevens art book. It includes every iconic Dave Stevens pin-up illustration, many of which originally appeared in obscure or ephemeral or limited editions. To collect them all would cost many times this volume.

This Diamond Exclusive Collector's Edition has 16 extra pages of art (28 images) and a slipcase and was limited to 2000 copies. It quickly sold out back when it was released in 2008. Brush with Passion is totally out-of-print in all editions.

From the publisher:

Brush with Passion charts the career of Dave Stevens, one of the most beloved and influential of all comic illustrators. He discusses his beginnings as a comic artist, the struggle to bring The Rocketeer to the big screen, his work as a storyboard artist for Raiders of the Lost Ark and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video, and other career highlights. Equally renowned as a pin-up artist, Stevens also recounts his friendship with reclusive model Bettie Page. Along with a wealth of iconic paintings and previously unpublished artwork, the book features commentary by comic book greats Todd Schorr, Richard Hescox, Michael William Kaluta, and William Stout. Introduction by James Steranko.
