Steve Rude drew this pinup of characters that -I believe- showed up in Dave Stevens’ Space Vixens.

Astoundingly. in my attempt to showcase a variety of atists' interpretations of The Shadow, I omitted the artist who has been the character's best known illustrator for nearly five decades! Let's rectify this omission immediately with a selection of The Shadow by Mike Kaluta! (thanks to @ungoliantschilde for pointing out his absence!)

Nice!

Additionally, there are contributions on this set by Neal Adams and Dave Stevens.

A pair of freelance illustration jobs by artist/friend: Dave Stevens.. The 2nd one has been widely published, but has been rarely seen in it’s original context. These were ads for BOSS Audio products that appeared in GUITAR WORLD magazine, back in 1985. It took me years to locate the “Feedback Monster” version in the bad olde pre-eBay days!  Fortunately, Toronto had a number of good Used Books stores that carried back-issues of old mags.. Dave famously drew himself into the “Sampler Safari” one, as “Professor D. Sampler”.. He’s sporting the jodphur pants that he’d already made famous in his ROCKETEER comic stories.. Intriguing to me, are the mail-in offers for larger 18" x 24" posters of these ads? I’ve never seen one. And it makes me wonder how many were printed, and if any of them are still around?

Oh wow. I have posted the original artwork for the first ad in the past, but I never could find the published piece. Cool!

Here’s the original artwork:
