Issue #8 of The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe covers entries from Namorita to Pyro, and the cover by penciler Ed Hannigan and inker Joe Rubinstein packs in a remarkable crowd of Marvel characters — Power Man and Iron Fist are front and center, alongside Nightcrawler, a fiery Nova, and a host of others surging across an orange-tinted background. It's a lively snapshot of the Marvel universe's N-through-P roster, exactly the kind of sprawling character showcase that made this 1983 reference series so satisfying for fans who wanted to know everything about their favorite heroes and villains.
