Struck by a ray of energy sent by a dying alien, ordinary high-school student Richard Rider has inherited the mantle of an intergalactic Nova Centurion - and all the headaches that come with it! And even the powers of a human rocket can't help Richard outrun a rogues' gallery that includes Zorr, Condor, Powerhouse, Diamondhead, the Corrupter, Megaman - and the dreaded Sphinx, who wants to claim a secret the newly minted Nova doesn't even know he's carrying! Can Richard balance schoolwork, a social life and a near-constant string of arch-villains? And if not, which will he lose first - his dreams or his life?

With their Nova helmets that enable them to fly and shoot energy beams, they're policing the Milky Way twice as well as before - and grabbing some dad-and-son catch-up time. With pancakes! Mini-golf! Earthquakes?! What could be responsible for the catastrophic tremors? How about a giant, awful monster that only Nova can stop? Meanwhile, Sam is moonlighting on his own as an Avenger - could love be in the air among Earth's Mightiest Teenagers? But what sinister secret is the elder Alexander hiding, and how will Sam react when he finds out?

But can Nova handle his first taste of the power of a mad cosmic god?

Spider-Man Cover - 1st printing.

Cover by John Romita Jr and Al Milgrom.

The book is broken down into sections on coloring, inking, lettering, scripting, pencilling, and plotting. Plenty of examples in blue line for inking, coloring, etc. It is printed on very heavy paper just like the real artists use. This is an informative look at what goes into the making of a comic book and a nice collectible to boot.

Softcover, 11-in. x 17-in., 32 pages, PC/PB&W.

Note: A couple of pages got switched around in production and each book had a nice apology letter slipped into the book explaining the error. Cover price $12.95.
