A couple months back I was finally able to make contact with Chris Marrinan. Chris was the artist responsible of bringing Nova back after his short lived original 25 issue run,and did most of the art(and some writing),on Vol 2. When I set up this commission I asked my son who he wanted Nova to be paired up against,and of course he chose Spidey. Upon seeing the finished piece I realized how close it was to the cover of Nova Vol 1. #12 so I will be giving this piece the cover treatment. For me this is a partial grail piece. My search continues for the other missing pieces(When I can afford to find and get them)
On a side note: I did ask Chris to clip Richard Riders ponytail.
