Career
David Nakayama's first professional comics work was published in Star Wars Tales #17, while he was a student at the Joe Kubert School[1]. After winning Wizard Magazine's "Be The Next Top Cow Superstar" contest, he left the school and became an art intern at Top Cow Productions in Los Angeles, CA. Under the instruction of industry legend Marc Silvestri, David improved his craft and went on to pencil the Proximity Effect graphic novel, Witchblade #77, eleven issues of the City of Heroes comic book,[2] and the Revved graphic novel[3].
In 2007, David began working for Marvel Comics. He drew the Hulk story in Marvel Adventures: Iron Man and Hulk, one of the company's two Free Comic Book Day issues that year, and afterwards helped launch the Marvel Adventures: Hulk series. After six issues of Hulk, he worked on Marvel Adventures: Fantastic Four and Spider-man as well.
Upcoming plans include a 5-issue miniseries for Marvel, written by Chris Claremont, and covers for Zenescope.
