Spidey #79
In "Les mutants et le monstre !", the Beyonder grapples with the complexities of human life, seeking guidance from Spider-Man—only to be redirected to Reed Richards, overwhelmed by his own recent battles. After a brief encounter with a homeless woman who points him toward heroes for hire, the Beyonder’s quest leads to a startling moment when Luke Cage, in a fit of anger, declares life is about money—prompting the cosmic being to turn their office building into gold. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Al Milgrom, with inks by Steve Leialoha and Joe Rubinstein, this 1986 issue captures a surreal, character-driven moment in the Beyonder’s journey, with a striking cover by the same team.
