Nova #84
In "Le retour fracassant du Fantôme Rouge !", Giant-Man faces a dire fate as radiation poisoning takes its toll, forcing Thing and Spider-Woman to confront the man behind his condition—Atom Smasher, whose shocking connection to the original adds a personal weight to the battle. Written by Tom DeFalco and brought to life by Ron Wilson’s art, Chic Stone’s inks, and George Roussos’s colors, this 1985 issue delivers a tense, emotional showdown with lasting consequences. Jean Frisano’s striking cover captures the intensity of the moment.
In "Le destin de Giant-Man !", Giant-Man faces a dire fate as radiation poisoning takes hold, forcing Thing and Spider-Woman to confront Atom Smasher—the brother of the original—and uncover the truth behind the attack. As Spider-Woman works to reverse Giant-Man’s condition, the effort comes at a cost, leaving her unable to neutralize poison and stripping Giant-Man of his size-shifting power.
In "Crise d'identité," Spidey takes Black Cat to his apartment and finally reveals his true identity, sharing the raw, unvarnished story of Peter Parker’s life. The moment becomes charged when she makes it clear she’s drawn only to Spider-Man—not the man behind the mask.
