Spécial Strange #57
"Tragédie à la une !" delivers a gripping twist on fame and fortune in this 1988 Spécial Strange #57, where Longshot’s talents as a stunt performer take center stage—only to be tested by a cruel betrayal. Written by Ann Nocenti and brought to life with dynamic art by Arthur Adams, the issue features inks by Whilce Portacio and Scott Williams, and vibrant colors by Christie Scheele, with Adams also handling the striking cover pencils and inks. As Longshot’s luck begins to fail and a mysterious transformation unfolds in Magog, the line between performance and peril blurs in a story that’s as sharp as it is suspenseful.
In "La dernière ligne droite," Wolverine pushes through the chaos of the purged Morlock tunnels, driven to reach the Healer and bring her back to the mansion to save his injured teammates. With Nightcrawler, Kitty, and Colossus critically wounded and out of action, the stakes are high as he fights his way through the wreckage of the underground warzone.
In "Esclave et star," Longshot finds himself caught between fame and survival when a director spots his acrobatic talents and pulls him into the spotlight as a stunt performer. With newfound friendship from Ricochet Rita, his skills dazzle audiences—until hunters from his alien past return, forcing a desperate rescue by the increasingly altered Magog. As his luck begins to fail and danger escalates on set, Longshot's rise becomes a fight for his life, leaving him abandoned in a river with no way out.
