Spidey #84
In "L'Ombre," the Beyonder’s quiet contemplation on a remote island sparks an unexpected cult of thinkers, drawing the attention of the Thing during a film shoot. When Mephisto’s visions push the Thing to confront the alien, he instead finds himself defending the Beyonder from a sudden onslaught of villains—unwittingly foiling a dark scheme. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Al Milgrom, with inks by Steve Leialoha and colors by Julianna Ferriter, this 1987 French edition (10,000 FRF) features a striking cover by Jean-Yves Mitton.

Baffled by his time on Earth, the Beyonder finds a deserted island and simply sits down to think. Even there, people take notice of him and begin to form a "thinking" cult based around his example. The Thing, who is shooting a movie on a nearby island, is disgusted by it all. After a series of visions (courtesy of Mephisto), he swims out to beat up on the Beyonder. Instead, he ends up protecting the Beyonder from an army of villains who have been sent to take him out and unintentionally thwarts Mephisto's plans of using a portion of the Beyonder's own power to defeat him.
