The name comes from Nova Express, a novel by William S. Burroughs.
It seems that Nova is issued every weekend, but it is not clear whether it comes on Saturday or Sunday. The belated issue on Doctor Manhattan comes on Saturday afternoon, but Bernard comments on the issue of the "Spirit of '77" on Sunday.
The title "Spirit of '77" refers to the American expression Spirit of '76, as well as the 1977 police strike riots.
