Spécial Strange #27

In "Plus acéré que la dent du serpent !", Cyclops rallies the X-Men after their disorienting first clash with the ever-shifting Proteus, who now seizes control of his own father’s body for a more personal and dangerous assault. Written by John Byrne and Chris Claremont, with Byrne’s dynamic art and Terry Austin’s sharp inks, this 1982 issue delivers a tense, psychological edge as the team faces a foe who’s not just powerful—but intimately connected to one of their own. The cover by Thomas Frisano captures the eerie intensity of the moment.
