IN MEMORIAM
DECEMBER 1954 - JUNE 2009
I’m also the person who designed the infamous neck-tie costume for Red Sonja. It was never drawn the way I intended it because Mary Wilshire didn’t understand that it was leather and not fur on the top, and that it was a sash, it was supposed to be more like a pirate thing. At the time Adam Ant was very big so I was trying to get those pirate elements in there, and it never looked the way I intended it to look.

A discarded sketch idea for a Red Sonja cover. The sketch itself is somewhat reminiscent of Dave's art teacher, John Buscema, and shows that Dave has mastered the rough sketch format.
