In "Carrion, le rebelle !", Nova triumphs over the Corruptor and finally shares his secret identity with his family, while a desperate fugitive named Mike Burley stumbles upon the forgotten hero the Comet, half-hidden in an alley. Written by Marv Wolfman and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, Bob McLeod, and Joe Rubinstein—plus inks by McLeod and Rubinstein and colors by Bob Sharen—this 1979 issue delivers a gripping blend of personal revelation and rediscovered legacy. The cover, by Jean-Yves Mitton, captures the moment with striking intensity.
