American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Nova #1
*Marvel: In 1976, the House Of Ideas came up with Nova, designed originally to be an ‘everyman’ character like Peter Parker/Spider-Man, but quickly developing into a cosmic ‘soldier’ more akin to DC’s Green Lantern – luckily, DC’s lawyers didn’t notice the parallels! Although the original run lasted a mere 25 issues, Nova has returned many times to the Marvel Universe, and where he shines is in the protracted cosmic crossovers of which Marvel is so fond. Our latest copy of Nova #1 is in nice condition, pence printed, with great cover colour and gloss, tight staples, and excellent page quality. Very minor wear at corners and tiny stress marks at spine; there is a short crease across the bottom right corner which barely breaks colour.
