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?

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.
