Strange #117
In the 1979 French edition of Strange #117, "… Nouvel an, avec Hydra !", Gerry Conway crafts a haunting tale of loss and identity, illustrated with bold precision by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, with colors by Janice Cohen. When Spider-Man and Ned are captured by the Jackal, a chilling revelation unfolds: Miles Warren has created a clone of Gwen Stacy, driven by grief and obsession. As Spidey fights to save Ned from a deadly bomb, he must confront a twisted reflection of himself—only to see the Jackal’s resolve shattered by the clone’s final words. The issue’s dramatic climax, with falling scaffolding and a sacrifice made in clarity, leaves the fate of Warren and the clone uncertain. The cover, by Jean Frisano, captures the tension with stark, expressive detail.
In "… Nouvel an, avec Hydra !", DD and the Widow return to New York, still simmering from past tensions. When Matt tricks the Widow into attending a New Year’s party hosted by his old partner, chaos erupts as Hydra crashes the celebration—leaving DD to face off against El Jaguar. Amid the mayhem, Nick Fury arrives with a surprising offer for Foggy: join SHIELD.
