Hello All...

 

VERY sad to hear that Dave Hoover passed away.....one of my favorite Captain America artists.....he finished the Cap run of Mark Gruenwald in the 90's with a great storyline, Fighting Chance....I know the story was not well received at the time , with Cap wasting away and having a Super Suit Etc....but I can remember really enjoying it..and hey, it led to the Waid Garney Cap run....Hoover also had a great run on Spider-Man....I can recall reading about him in old Wizard Mags from the 90's.....also a SUPER nice guy......

 

Not sure if anyone got any blank covers or signs by him, he only started doing shows again and he never did many....

 

RIP Mr. Hoover.....

[DennisRodmanofSS]

You got a blank from him right? I thought I saw it in your Sig Line Dark Prime, could be wrong...

 

I really don't want to talk about how he died, I just don't think its my place to discuss that, but yeah, he was young, late 40's I think.....

It's so odd when you see an announcement like this. Dave was an artist I spoke with less than a month ago probably, that I follow on Deviantart and l loved the stuff he posted. I once bought a page from Anthony's Collectibles and said something about it on his Deviant page and he was nice enough to come back and tell me that Anthony no longer had the page and kept me from having a long downtime with no money or art. Class act. RIP.

That is just terrible. I had him on my Fallen Son list for a long time and never managed to get one to him at a show.

 

RIP

Rich Henn got this done for me in Pittsburgh. This is Dave's first published artwork, Joe P. said he'd work on possibly getting the label to reflect this.
