Strange #177
In "A boulets rouges," Rom, Starshine, and the Gremlin confront the lingering aftermath of Rom's cloned human body, burying it with quiet resolve. With the Gremlin guiding them to a compromised Russian compound overrun by Wraiths, the Soviet Super Soldiers—despite their distrust of authority—join forces to hunt down insurgents in the Khystym region. As tensions flare and old enemies clash, Rom must quickly discern friend from foe when the battle reveals a shocking truth: the soldiers are not Wraiths, but mutants caught in a web of deception. 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 cover by Jean Frisano.
