Happy birthday, Rob! Hope it's a real good one. (You've got the same birthday as Steve Ditko, that's a fun one to share a birthday with!)

Yeah seen the Keith Pollard revision for Nova 4 with Thor! That looks stunning - same goes foe the Nova 11 one! Are you planning to have a few more Nova Vol.1 done? They should go up at Nova Prime Page! Do you want me to get Doug the webmaster to get them in the fan gallery? No probs with the Birthday wishes!!! Daz

Thanks for the nice comments! I'm actually planning on doing re-creates of the entire Vol 1. series. May take a couple years before I have all 25! LOL! No probem with posting them here as long as the proper credits are given. I also have a question for you. Am I able to post pieces I have had commissioned on my DA page? or is this only for the artists themselves to post on thiers? The reason I ask is that I would love to post some of these Nova covers to see if there are any aspiring colorists that would like to take a crack at them. Having these colored professionally is taking a large chunk of change.
Thanks again Daz!

You have no issue posting them on your DA page as long as you add the credit and a link if they have a blog, DA account etc. Long as you add This was a Commission Piece done by etc and etc... There are no restrictions but you'd have to add also Nova and whatever characters are property of Marvel Comics as a disclaimer.Β
I have no probs adding them to Nova Prime DA too. What I'd do is create a separate folder in our galleries and they could be used a test color pieces with the original cover added as a guide. They'd be open to anyone to use as long as you give permission and make sure any done you can check so they on the right track. I could mention it at some of our affiliate groups at CTU and New Warriors.Β
However I can post them to Nova Prime Page itself -Β www.novaprimepage.com/fanworksβ¦ so you get them online at the main Nova fan site!Β
So if you can do me the credit list for the ones who've had done so far then I'll do the rest. I agree color costs a lot- Β I do have a few free colorists but pends on their work load but I may have a crack at one myself between jobs! The one cover I'd like to see done again is Nova 9 with Megaman in the Hall of Mirrors! Daz

Daz, If you can,send me your e-mail and I will forward what I have to date,along with credits. I have sent some work already to the direct Nova prime page. It was posted in the sketch area. That 2 issue Megaman storyline was a fave of mine too. I'm really looking to see what(and who)can rework some of those Infantino covers featuring the Yellow Claw and Blackout! I may even have Sal Buscema do the cover for #25 being it was a single character shot,if I can get back on his list that is. If not I'll have Pollard do it again since it was his cover.

Send it to you via note! Sal would do a great issue 25 - oddly enough the only issue from Vol 1 I still haven't got in my collection. But Pollard would do a great alternative. I'll have to see if one of my artists will do a re-creation. Daz

Welcome to the group Rob! My first Nova comic wasΒ #6 Vol. 1 which i got back in 1985 - and I was so caught up with the character and american comic books - something being in the UK i wasn't into previously - that I started collecting and haven't stopped since; although SF is my first love. I have most of Nova's issues now - still on the fence over the present new Nova - as I prefer Rich Rider anyday. I'm a reg contributor to Nova Prime Page -the main fan site and here at the NP group I Edit and run the Nova619 project which is a fan based webcomic featuring the original Nova - which you can find at the group here -Β novaprime.deviantart.com/galleβ¦
and the archive is also at NPP via this linkΒ www.novaprimepage.com/619.asp&β¦ Β where you can download all the web-comics produced so far! Daz

Thanks Daz. Really looking forward to reading the web comics. I had alot in common with RR when I was a teen. That was what drew me to Nova. Plus the dude had one of the coolest costumes of that era! Such a shame that Richard stayed young while I got old! I'm sure Marvel will come to their senses someday and return RR Nova to the comic once more.

So i take it you're not cool with Sam either eh - or as we older fans call him NINO! That's Nova in Name Only in case you wanna know. I'm sure Rich will come back one day - hopefully with a team that can carry on the great work laid down by Dna and Giffen. I mean even now Annihilation remains "the" Nova event of the last 35 years - and acts as the spin off for Nova619 as well. Anyway the next ep is up this weekend! Daz

No, I'm not much of a Sam-Fan. I'm basically picking up the monthly book because it says Nova on the cover and I have hope that Richard Rider will make a comeback at some point. My ideal Nova team would include Sal Buscema. He and Ron Frenz would put me in a "Frenzy"(Pun intended), I'm ok with Medina's art currently, just everything else I can't stand!

I've just posted Part 2 of Home - now in the 619 2013 season gallery - so hopefully that will sate your Rich Rider hunger! I did like Frenz's take on Nova - well the Spider-Girl version - in the Ultimate universe - purely because it was a good old school approach and they did a nice adaptation of the classic costume! I got Nova 7 yesterday - I think Ock/Spiderman summed up my thoughts on Sam perfectly! Daz

Not sure how much longer I will be picking up Sam-Nova. I can always check Previews to see if RR returns. Really wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying reading the Nova619. Well written with very decent art. Pretty far behind still,but I'll catch up eventually. Appreciate you turning me on to this.

Glad you're enjoying Nova619 Rob. Hope you enjoy the past episodes - we do our best! I'm hoping Thanos or at least of the Black Coven kick Sam's ass all the way to Alpha Centuri!Β

Your welcome! I really like your work. I see a Francis Manapul influence. I may have some commission work for you soon. You would have to bring out the Copics for this Your pencil work is very good also.

I'm glad you like the artwork and that is a great compliment being likened to Francis. Β I love his artwork, very smooth, and energetic. Β I own a few pieces of his original art. Β I had him commish a Colossus Kitty Pryde piece 6 or 7 years back that is fantastic. Β As for a commish for you, I would be more than happy for the opportunity so give me a shout if you want to give it a go. Β
