Nova #5

Nova in his striking blue-and-yellow uniform hurls himself against a massive golden robot — the Earth-Shaker — whose mechanical fists crackle with destructive energy while a crowd of terrified bystanders scrambles for safety below. Jack Kirby's pencils and Frank Giacoia's inks give the confrontation a raw, kinetic charge that feels perfectly at home in Marvel's 1977 lineup. With Marv Wolfman writing and Sal Buscema and Tom Palmer handling interior art, this is a well-crafted team ready to put "the Ultimate Super-Hero" through his paces.
