About

As the decade progressed, the focus of the club changed towards Japanese animation as a whole rather than just Star Blazers. By 1987, issues of Nova frequently featured articles on new OAVs like Iczer One, television shows such as Robotech and Saber Rider, fan fiction from Lensman and Voltron, and articles on older animation like Speed Racer and Gundam as well as newer fare like Megazone 23 and Wings of Honneamise. Artwork and comics included work from professionals like Ben Dunn, Colleen Doran, Dave Sim, the Waltrip brothers and Mike Manning, not to mention scores of amateur fan artists at every skill level.
