Strange #200
In "Quand l'amour est d'or," Spidey races through New York’s underworld hunting the Hobgoblin, while his black alien costume subtly urges young Franklin Richards to free it—without success. The hunt leads to a tense showdown at a women’s bathroom, where a pumpkin bomb webbed to Hobgoblin’s hand forces a sudden, sticky confrontation. With Liz and Mary Jane captured by the Rose’s men and Harry helpless, Spidey must stop the Hobgoblin before it’s too late. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz, with inks by Joe Rubinstein and Brett Breeding and colors by Bob Sharen, the cover by Jean-Yves Mitton captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.
In "Quand l'amour est d'or," Elizabeth grapples with the weight of her unyielding mystic coronet, realizing she may be bound to her role as Talisman for good. Meanwhile, Aurora and Walter scout an old refuge for Alpha Flight, only to uncover the enigmatic Gilded Lily, whose presence holds a golden peril for those who draw near.

With Liz and Mary Jane taken by the Rose’s men and Harry helpless, the stakes rise in this high-stakes, chaotic chase.
