THE MAN CALLED NOVA #1–25 — COMPLETE ORIGINAL SERIES (1976–1979)
Marvel Comics | All 25 Issues | Newsstand Editions | First Appearance of Nova
Twenty-five issues. One Human Rocket. Absolutely no frequent-flyer miles.
Before the Marvel Universe got quite so crowded with cosmic celebrities, there was Richard Rider — an ordinary teenager who suddenly found himself endowed with extraordinary powers, a spectacular costume, and a job description that definitely wasn't covered in high school career counseling.
Meet Nova, the Human Rocket!
Offered here is the complete original 25-issue run of The Man Called Nova, published by Marvel Comics from 1976 to 1979. Every issue, from #1 through #25, is included — all newsstand editions, the kind that once beckoned to young readers from spinning racks in drugstores, supermarkets, and neighborhood newsstands.
WHAT'S INSIDE THIS COSMIC COLLECTION?
All 25 original issues, #1–25, sold together as one complete run.
Nova #1 (1976) — the first appearance and origin of Richard Rider, the Human Rocket.
Classic Bronze Age Marvel storytelling, spearheaded by writer Marv Wolfman, with artwork from some of Marvel's celebrated talents.
A colorful assortment of villains, including the Sphinx, Diamondhead, Condor, and Powerhouse.
Guest appearances, cosmic catastrophes, superhero showdowns, and enough 1970s melodrama to power a small planet.
