“Le réveil de Scorpio”

"Le réveil de Scorpio" marks a pivotal moment in the Nova saga, with Stan Lee’s storytelling and John Buscema’s dynamic art bringing high stakes to the forefront. When Yarro Gort aids a tyrannical regime in hunting the Silver Surfer, the cost is steep—Shalla Bal is injured, forcing the Surfer to send her back to Zenn-La alone. The cover by Jean-Yves Mitton captures the tension with striking precision, and the 1979 release remains a standout in the series' early run.
