Description

Nick Pitarra is the artist on The Manhattan Projects. The book explores a timeline where the Manhattan Project to build the bomb is just a minor activity and front for what was really going on. A fascinating read with wonderful art.

I met Nick and Joe Eisma at the first Space City Comic Con. They were literally starving artists so I bought them some food. Nick talked me into buying the first five issues of The Manhattan Projects from him. I'm glad I did. Since then, I have accumulated a few convention pieces by Nick, but I've wanted a good team page for some time.

I think this is a pretty great example of one.

It features a large selection of the cast with most sitting at a table on the moon as one does.

In panel 1, we have two figures rising from the floor where they are greeted by a robot.
In panel 2, we discover that the robot has FDR's personality and memories embedded into it; the world's first AI thinks it is FDR.
In panel 4, we have (foregound first then left to right around the table, note links are to the real people, they differ greatly from their alternate universe selves)

Foreground

Harry Daghlian - physicist officially irradiated to death during the Manhattan Project
Enrico Fermi - Italian genius

Around the Table

Wernher von Braun - the rocket guy, new and improved with a robotic left arm
Dmitriy Ustinov - Russian Defense Minister (Closeup)
Albrecht Einstein - a parallel universe version the relativity guy - Albrecht replaced Albert; link is to Albert (Closeup here and here)
General Groves - Military Head of The Manhattan Projects
Yuri Gagarin - Russian cosmonaut and dog lover (Closeup)
Julius Oppenheimer - Replaced his twin brother Robert as the civilian head of the Manhattan Project (atomic bomb branch) and not quite Robert, not quite sane, link is to Robert
Richard Feynman - quantum mechanic (Closeup)
Liaka - first dog in space (Closeup)

Top two panels (not mentioned above),
- The AI that holds the mind of FDR.

With so many characters in the scene, it's poster-worthy.
