Eclipso #12
In "La mutation de Mark Merlin," Steve Ditko's striking art and Wally Wood's dynamic inks bring to life a chilling tale of mind control and rebellion. When the underground scientist Lord Uru experiments on a surface child named Andor, twisting him into a weapon to overthrow the surface world, the resulting clash with THUNDER's Dynamo sets off a chain of violent revelations. The cover by Steve Ditko captures the eerie tension of this underground war, all set in a 1971 French comic priced at 2,50 FRF.
In "La mutation de Mark Merlin," Mark Merlin is exiled to the dimension of Ra by the Gargouille, where he gains immense magical power—but only if he returns to Earth incarnate as the Prince Ra-Man. The story explores the cost of power and the fragile line between identity and transformation.

Now, the team must stop Dr. Weir, who has stolen the same technology to turn ordinary lizards into monstrous dinosaurs and use them to pull off a string of high-stakes robberies.
In "Phantasmo," a chance surge of interdimensional energy grants accidental powers to "Sad" Jack Dold, turning him into a volatile threat who unleashes a criminal frenzy—clashing with both Wildcat and the Spectre in a battle of wills and supernatural force.
