Strange #174
In "Entre hommes de fer," Dr. Strange sends Rom to a remote region of Russia overrun by Wraiths, where he encounters a vibrant community of survivors who dance in celebration of their rebirth.

Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Sal Buscema, with inks by Ian Akin and Brian Garvey, and colors by Ben Sean, this 1984 issue features a striking cover by Jean Frisano.

Dr. Strange mystically sends Rom to an area of Wraith infestation in Russia. Rom meets a jubilant group of dancing people who welcome him with open arms. They explain that they were victims of nuclear fallout until a mysterious stranger gave them new bodies and a new life. Rom enters a cave where he meets Quasimodo who tells him that he can make a clone of his human body and transfer his consciousness therein. Rom accepts the offer, little knowing that Quasimodo is working with a coven of Wraiths. Rom is thrilled when he awakens as a man once again.
