GET A SNEAK PEEK AT THE AUCTION ARTWORK HERE!
And please check this website regularly during the month of May as we will be continually updating and expanding the auction catalog.
This May marks the 30th anniversary of the debut of The Rocketeer. Sadly, Dave isn't around to celebrate it. He passed away in 2008 after battling Hairy Cell Leukemia for the better part of a decade.
Dave was a remarkably gifted artist and all-around good guy. His many friends in the business, as well as those who never met him, would all agree that he was taken away far too soon.
With the blessings of the Stevens family, the Comic Art Professional Society asks your help in combating the disease that claimed Dave's life. Fifty percent of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation in remembrance of Dave and his seminal creation, The Rocketeer. Your high bid on a piece of exquisite original art can aid research that will, hopefully, one day bring an end to this rare and insidious form of cancer.
More than forty of the most talented creators in our business have generously contributed original pieces - Rocketeer themed or otherwise - to the auction.
PROXY BIDS. If you are unable to attend the auction, you may submit proxy bids on as many pieces as you want. Simply send an email to CAPS Vice President Bill Morrison at roswell2@earthlink.net describing which pieces you are interested in and the price range you wish to bid on each. Submit your proxy bids no earlier than May 11 and no later than May 29. By submitting this request, you are agreeing to pay CAPS in full for any auctioned pieces that draw your high bid.
PHONE BIDS. There are a very limited number of on-site phone representatives available for phone-in bids. If you cannot attend the auction but are interested in monitoring it and bidding in real time, send an email request to Bill Morrison at roswell2@earthlink.net no earlier than May 11. We will subsequently let you know if we are able to assign you an on-site phone rep or not.
Out of respect to the generous creators who have taken the time to donate work specifically for this cause, CAPS asks - in fact, it insists - that no piece of art purchased at this auction be put up for resale on eBay or any other venue for at least five years.
We look forward to seeing you at this very special event.
