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.

Spidey and Ned have been captured by the Jackal who spins a tale of grief and madness. The Jackal tells of how Miles Warren cloned Gwen Stacy to bring her back into his life. As Spidey races to rescue Ned from a bomb set by the Jackal, he is forced to battle a clone of himself. With seconds left until the bomb explodes, Warren is berated by Gwen's clone and comes to his senses, sacrificing himself to save Ned's life. Scaffolding falls on both Warren and the Spider-Man clone, however, apparently killing them both. Gwendy's takes off to make a new life for herself.
