Spécial Strange #18
In "Sanction contre 'X'...", the X-Men are pulled from their usual battles and thrust into a bizarre, surreal setting when Beast discovers the X-Mansion abandoned and follows the team’s trail to a Texas carnival—where they’re performing as sideshow attractions. Chris Claremont’s sharp storytelling, brought to life by John Byrne’s dynamic art and Terry Austin’s precise inks, sets a haunting, off-kilter tone as Mesmero’s influence begins to unravel, leading to a shocking confrontation with Magneto. The cover by Jean Frisano captures the eerie spectacle with striking detail.
In "Jeux d'esprit !", Beast tracks the missing X-Men to a dusty Texas carnival where they’re performing as freaks under an unseen spell. When Mesmero’s mind control is finally broken, the team’s reunion is cut short by a sudden, ominous arrival—Magneto, drawn to the chaos like a storm to the center of the ring.
In "Alerte au Pirate !", the Thing teams up with Bill Foster at Stark West to test a high-tech space suit when the notorious Hijacker crashes the party—literally—intent on stealing experimental gear. With the suit’s capabilities still unproven, the Thing and Black Goliath must rely on instinct and grit to stop the thief before the situation spirals out of control.
