Bob Novick
About
flag this descriptionIrv Novick (April 11, 1916-October 15, 2004) was an American comic book artist who worked almost continuously from 1939 until the late 1990s.
A graduate of the National Academy of Design, Novick got his start in the workshop of Harry "A" Chesler. From about 1939 to 1946, Novick was working for MLJ Comics, the company that would later be known as Archie Comics. He became the primary artist for their superhero comics, including the characters The Shield (the first patriotic superhero), Bob Phantom, The Hangman, and Steel Sterling, until MLJ cut back on these titles to focus more on their Archie comics.
From 1946 to 1951, Novick worked in advertising and for the largely unsuccessful comic strips Cynthia and The Scarlet Avenger. His long association with DC Comics began when he was hired by editor Robert Kanigher, who had previously written Novick-illustrated comics for MLJ. Novick and Kanigher would be friends and colleagues for many years. Initially, Novick was primarily artist on war comics like Our Army at War and occasionally romance titles.

I think the mood of the electorate now is not dissimilar than what it was in 2008. It’s just a different party’s in charge. People are frustrated, there’s an extreme dissatisfaction with the status quo.
Years ago, when Weyerhauser shut down their factory in Cottage Grove, the Mayor said no problem, we’re building two new motels. The woodworker makes a lot more money than the common laborer at a motel. That’s the thinking of politicians in this state.
In the scheme of the entire nation, and looking at races around the country and the political dynamic in general, it’s an interesting political year.
Last time we saw something like this was the replacement election for Bob Packwood.
