Strange #184
In "Si bêtes sont ces mortels !", Spider-Man and the Black Cat grapple with the tension between their growing romance and their opposing paths—one seeking redemption, the other embracing her criminal instincts. Written by Roger Stern and illustrated by John Romita Jr. with inks by Jim Mooney and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1985 issue captures their emotional clash with sharp character work and dynamic pacing. The cover by Jean Frisano perfectly frames the moment’s intensity, a 10 FRF comic from a pivotal year in the series.

Both Spider-Man and the Black Cat have conflicting emotions about their new status as lovers. Spider-Man wants the Black Cat to go straight, even going so far as to ask Captain Jean DeWolff to get her a pardon. The Black Cat, on the other hand, has a hard time kicking old habits and wants the two of them to use their abilities to become thieves. Spider-Man tries to immobilize the Black Cat with his web, but rather than ending up in prison, she jumps in the river. Believing her dead, Spider-Man is even more sad to receive the news of a full pardon for the Black Cat.
