A selection of cover work from Marvel, Zenescope Entertainment, and Devil's Due among others. Hope you dig.

CITY of HEROES Cover Gallery 

Providing covers for issues 15-20 of Top Cow's City of Heroes, series has been one of my favorite gigs to date, and I'm thrilled to display them here. I painted the background on the #15 cover, but all the other color work's by Blond.

Hey David! Great to meet you at Wizard World and look forward to doing some work with you!

I still love your work on the CoH comics. I wish they weren't discontinuing the comic series; there's so much untapped cross-medium potential there. Good luck with the next set of comics you work on :) .

[ Posted by David_Nakayama on Mar 6th, 2007 1:36 AM ]... Thanks, man. It was great fun while it lasted, and the CoH characters and community are still near and dear to my heart. But I'm over at Marvel now, and you can check out my first book free--on Free Comic Day! I did a Hulk story and the cover for Marvel Adventures 3-in-1. :)

Thank you for the add, Mr. Nakayama. I'm a big fan of your work with City of Heroes, and especially of your work on Lord Recluse's mad scientist on the second page of issue 12 (part 3 of the Trading Spaces arc).
