“Cauchemar”

"Cauchemar" marks a pivotal moment in Nova's run, delivering a tense, otherworldly showdown as the Surfer, Mr. Fantastic, and the Invisible Woman struggle against the corrupting influence of soul gems while trapped in a surreal magical limbo. Written by Steve Englehart and brought to life by Ron Lim’s dynamic art, with inks by Joe Rubinstein and colors by Tom Vincent, the issue unfolds with a haunting sense of dread as the true menace—The In-Betweener—emerges. The cover, a striking piece by Ciro Tota, captures the eerie atmosphere of the story’s surreal setting.
