He was the second regular artist on the original New Warriors series, drawing the team’s adventures from 1992 to 1994.
Darick is most well-known as the artist and co-creator of the critically acclaimed hits Transmetropolitan and The Boys. He has also drawn the creator-owned series Happy! with Grant Morrison and Oliver with Gary Whitta, and Wolverine and Punisher: Born for Marvel Comics.
Night Thrasher is remembered for his super cool adventures throughout the ‘90s in both his solo series and as a core member of the New Warriors. Now, he’s back as a headlining hero in this four-issue limited series! Leaving the ‘90s behind and entering an exciting new era, Night Thrasher will adopt a brand-new look, rekindle his relationship with Silhouette, and clash with an all-new archenemy! Holtham, known for his work in both comics and TV series including Cloak and Dagger and Jessica Jones, will team up with acclaimed artist Nelson Dániel to steer this fan-favorite hero in a bold new direction.
It’s time to thrash the night! The death of a loved one draws Dwayne Taylor back to New York City, though his days as Night Thrasher are long over. But Dwayne finds the past difficult to outrun when Silhouette, his ex-teammate from the New Warriors, seeks his help against a new criminal called The O.G. And the mystery of the O.G.’s true identity and what’s to come will change Night Thrasher’s legacy forever!
Discussing the series with host Angélique Roché, Holtham said, “Obviously, there’s a ton of nineties nostalgia floating around. It feels like a dude on a skateboard is always going to be cool and fun. I’m from the nineties and I have aged and there’s a lot in this that is about, ‘What’s your legacy? What have you left behind?,’ especially because we haven’t seen him for a while. He had to go on a journey of self-discovery and hung out other places for a while to process that ‘I was dead then I wasn’t dead.’ And then, ‘What’s the world like?’ It’s mostly about him coming home to deal with the crap that he has not dealt with.”
Look for Night Thrasher #1 to arrive in stores and digitally on Wednesday, February 14th.

In 1981, he co-created Cloak and Dagger, and went on to write many of their adventures in the ’80s.
Bill wrote many other comics for Marvel throughout the ’70s and ’80s, including Incredible Hulk, Spectacular Spider-Man, and a celebrated run of Rom the Spaceknight. He also co-created Rocket Raccoon. In the late ’80s, he began transitioning out of comics and became a public defender for the Legal Aid Society non-profit organization. In the early ’90s, he was left comatose from a hit and run incident. He regained consciousness but the accident left him with severe brain damage. In 2014, Marvel Studios arranged to cover Bill’s in-home care expenses through a compensation package for Rocket Raccoon, who starred in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
If you don’t know about Bill Mantlo, let me share this:
On July 17, 1992, Mantlo was struck by a car while rollerblading. The driver of the car fled the scene and was never identified. Mantlo suffered severe head trauma. His activities of daily living are severely curtailed and he resides in a healthcare facility where he receives full-time care.
Mantlo’s brother describes the injury; “Bill is, and has been, trapped in a world of confusion and despair since his accident. The cognitive deficits he suffered have left him unable to reason or understand his situation, and he struggles daily to maintain any control over his own mind. For someone with his intellect and imagination, this was the absolute worst type of injury that could ever have happened to him.”

In 2007, Yurkovich released the benefit book Mantlo: A Life in Comics, with all proceeds from the book donated to Mantlo’s brother and caregiver, Michael Mantlo, to help toward the costs of maintaining Mantlo’s care. In addition, on December 6, 2007, the Portland, Oregon, comic-book shop Floating World Comics sponsored “Spacenight: A Tribute to Bill Mantlo”, an art show consisting almost entirely of various artists’ interpretations of Rom, to help raise funds for Mantlo’s care. Throughout December 2010, Floating World Comics sponsored “Spacenite2”, also featuring artists’ interpretations of Rom, with all proceeds going to Mantlo’s care and an art auction at the end of December 2010.
In 2014, Mantlo was granted a private preview screening by Marvel Entertainment and Walt Disney Pictures of the critically acclaimed and successful Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Guardians of the Galaxy, which prominently features his creation, Rocket Raccoon, as a principal character. According to his brother, Michael Mantlo, Bill was pleased with the adaptation (which credits him by name as the character’s co-creator) and considered the occasion a happy day for himself and his family.
Cards, letters and drawings can be sent to Bill Mantlo:

In 2011, the new Nova debuted in a story in Point One issue 1 by Jeph Loeb, Ed McGuinness, Dexter Vines, Morry Hollowell, and Albert Deschesne! He later joined the most recent iteration of the New Warriors.
You can read about the Sam Alexander Nova profile here on the site (though, it probably needs some updating!) Where would I go to check for updates? Well, none other than Corey’s page for Sam Alexander Nova! Sam Alexander went on to have his own Nova series, which I have a Synopsis for on the site: Volume 6, Volume 7, and then he teamed up with Rich (the original Nova) in the all too short lived, Volume 8.
