"Brush with Passion" charts the career of a beloved and influential comic artist who was influenced and encouraged by legendary creators like Jack Kirby and Milton Caniff. Stevens reminisces about his work as a storyboard artist for Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video and Steven Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark, " his days drawing comics, and the trials and tribulations of bringing his "Rocketeer" character to the big screen in the 1991 Disney film. Renowned for his wink-and-flirt pin-up art, Stevens is credited with revitalizing interest in, championing the rights of, and befriending the reclusive 1950s model Bettie Page. He recounts their first meeting and subsequent adventures together -- including a trip to the Playboy Mansion. Featuring a wealth of iconic paintings and previously unpublished art, Brush with Passion includes commentary by comic book greats Todd Schorr, Richard Hescox, Michael William Kaluta, and William Stout.
