*Special Note:  The large version of this cover has NO logo or bar code to deter your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy!

	NOVA #5 INKS Here is the black and white inks of Nova #5.  Tim Townsend did a stellar job of capturing Erik's art through his inks.  Very clear and well-defined.  One of the best Nova covers out of the series.  To see a larger version, just click on the image.
	NOVA #6 PENCILS Here is the pencils to the cover of Nova #6 featuring Nova versus The Sphinx.  To view a larger version of this cover, just click on the image to the left of this text.  As you can notice, Erik's pencils are overtly detailed, and the rough penciled version is as great as the finished product.  A very great cover.
	NOVA #7 INKS Here is the cover of Nova #7 featuring Venom and Nova.  It is already inked by Dan Panosian over Erik's pencils.  Panosian is a great inker, and Larsen's art is still present through Dan's inks.  A great job overall, and the detail is great, especially against Venom's black costume.
	NOVA #8 PENCILS Here is the unseen cover to the lost issue of the Nova series, Nova #8.  Erik had pencilled this cover before he had learned of Nova's cancellation.  It features the Red Raven and an army of his minions coming from their city in the clouds to attack a seemingly surprised Rich Ryder.  It's a shame that this issue never saw the light of day, I would've really liked to see this cover in it's final form and on the racks.  To see a larger version of the cover, click on the image to the left of this text.
