Set against the gritty backdrop of New York City, this single issue chronicles a tense and explosive clash between two of Marvel's most beloved heroes, driven by a case of mistaken identity and high-stakes misunderstanding, with the added bonus of a thrilling Photon team-up storyline woven throughout.\n\nWritten during the height of Marvel's Bronze Age, this issue perfectly illustrates the era's signature blend of superhero spectacle and relatable human drama — Nova, the new kid on the cosmic block still finding his footing, squaring off against the experienced and wisecracking web-slinger in a battle that is as much about identity as it is about power. The creative team masterfully balances kinetic combat with character-driven storytelling, a hallmark of Marvel's legendary bullpen during the 1970s. For collectors and fans of classic Marvel history, this issue remains a prized artefact of an era that defined the modern superhero genre — and leaves you wondering just how Nova will ever earn the city's trust after tangling with its most famous protector.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336805130459,"sku":"2026100008905-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/092fd590-8472-42bf-9c28-452a285b597a.png?v=1789958085","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008905-secondhand-the-man-called-nova-vol-1-no-12","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
