Novick's career in comics spanned 50 years, from 1939 to 1989, with some brief periods away from comics spent in advertising and comic strips.

 COMICON.com: GET WELL IRV NOVICK
Irv was THE Batman and Flash artist when I started reading comics and along with John Buscema, Frank Robbins, Bob Lubbers and Dick Dillin was one of the few artists who could make me buy a book.
Irv Novick, alongside Dick Dillin, Curt Swan and Ernie Chan pretty much embodies DC Comics of the 70's.
Novick's work, his FLASH and BATMAN work are almost legendary, but my fondest memory of any book he worked on is of THE JOKER.

Novick is probably best remembered as a long-time DC Comics penciller who worked for a long stretch in the 70's on The Flash comic as well as many issues of Batman.
Novick's career spanned almost the entire history of DC Comics as a company.
Novick was one of a number of under-rated yet superb artists employed by DC Comics for years: this list would also include the excellent yet overlooked work of such fine pencillers (and personal favourites) as Jim Aparo, Dick Dillin and Don Newton.

I don't know if Novick the man was anything like Novick's art, but, in his feisty responses (or non-responses) to an interview Evanier conducted with him at the San Diego convention, I get a sense that my long-distance analysis of his character was not very far off.
Novick retired from the comics when his eyesight began to fail him in the late 1990's.
Whenever comicdom loses someone like Irv Novick, I think the comics publishers - with as much help from comics readers as the publishers are willing to accept - should produce some sort of book to honor such creators.

He was known for wringing every last drop of emotion out of any given situation, so of course Storm's wooden leg and his "resolute determination" to track down and kill the grinning Japanese captain were played for all they were worth.
The artist was Irv Novick, co-creator of The Shield, who was later noted for a long run on Batman.
Storm continued proving his wooden leg was as good as a natural one (better, in fact, because it could be repeatedly destroyed and replaced) and seeking his arch-enemy (who was never seen again and no doubt had forgotten all about him) for three years.

Irv Novick, seen in the above 2002 photo, passed away this morning following a long illness and a recent fall.
He was hired by MLJ (now known as Archie Comics) and his first-known work there was in Blue Ribbon Comics #2 (December, 1939) where his art introduced a new character, Bob Phantom, who stuck around for many years.
I was honored and frustrated to interview Irv on several convention panels over the years — an impossible task, for in front of an audience and microphone, he claimed to remember very little of his career and to have absolutely no fondness for any job or character over any other.

 Obituary: Robert Kanigher
RK was a talented, driven speed-demon on the typewriter keys and once, in a pinch, dictated a "Steel Sterling" tale over the telephone to favored artist peer Irv Novick, who coolly beat the deadline doom, lettering RK's dialogue straight onto his art paper, as told.
Unigue among the DC editors in one regard, RK preferred that an artist both pencil and ink his own artwork and he hired the top talent; Jerry Grandentti, Irv Novick, Joe Kubert, John Severin, Mort Drucker, Russ Heath, (one exception was the Andru-Esposito team) and others, from whom he demanded their best efforts.
RK is one of a trio of the greatest of war comics writer-editors: Harvey Kurtzman, Robert Kanigher and Archie Goodwin.

Most of his best-known artworks are relatively close, but not exact, copies of comic book panels, a subject he largely abandoned in.
(He would occasionally incorporate comics into his work in different ways in later decades.) These panels were originally drawn by lesser known comic book artists such as Russ Heath, Tony Abruzzo, Irv Novick, and Jerry Grandinetti, who rarely received any credit.
Artist Dave Gibbons, said of Lichtenstein's works: "Roy Lichtenstein's copies of the work of Irv Novick and Russ Heath are flat, uncomprehending tracings of quite sophisticated images." In response to complaints like that of Gibbons, Lichtenstein's obituary in The Economist noted these artists "did not think much of his paintings.
