“Fear in the Funhouse!”

In "Fear in the Funhouse!", Nova faces off against Megaman in a blazing funhouse, where twisted mirrors and collapsing structures test both hero and villain. Meanwhile, Principal Charles Rider grapples with the fallout of being suspended from his job. Written by Marv Wolfman and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s dynamic art and Frank Giacoia’s sharp inks, this 1977 issue delivers high-stakes action with a touch of psychological tension, all wrapped in a cover by Ron Wilson and Frank Giacoia.
