Nova #15

In "The Fury Before the Storm!", Nova finds himself caught in a web of deception when he confronts a criminal named Mike Burley—only to see him escape. Soon after, he’s ambushed by what appear to be rogue superheroes, revealing themselves as S.H.I.E.L.D. Life Model Decoys sent by Nick Fury to test his resolve. With Fury’s urgent mission clear—uncover the truth behind Mike Burley’s brother, a captive scientist—Nova must prove himself worthy in a high-stakes game of trust and danger. Written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by Carmine Infantino with inks by Tom Palmer, this 1977 Marvel classic features dynamic art and a gripping mystery, with a striking cover by John Buscema and Joe Sinnott.
