In Memorium: Dave Hoover
Comic book artist Dave Hoover apparently passed away on September 5, 2011. His most notable work was on DC Comics' The Wanderers limited series (1988) and a lengthy run on the 1988 Starman; plus Marvel Comics' 1993 mini-series The Invaders and Captain America. Hoover originally started his career in animation, first as a layout artist for Filmation Studios from 1977–1985. In recent years Hoover established himself as one of the premiere "good-girl" artists working today, with regular auctions of his cheesecake sketches on eBay keeping his fans happy.
I just saw the guy in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago, so hearing about his untimely passing is really sad to me. The Catacombs extends its sincerest condolences to his family, friends and fans. Rest in peace!

Damn. Rest in peace Mr. Hoover
I was familiar with this work from the ERB fan site. Sad to read of his passing. Rest in Peace, Dave.
I wasn't aware he had a career outside of the pin-up stuff. still sad, though.
