Strange #208
In "Trahison," the Beyonder tests Spider-Man’s resolve by pitting him against a haunting trial: to uphold his purpose while tormented by spectral echoes of past failures, including the ghostly presence of Zarathos. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz, Jack Fury, Tom Morgan, James Fry, with inks by Joe Rubinstein, John Romita, and Russ Steffens, and colors by George Roussos, this 1987 issue delivers a psychologically intense journey as Spidey confronts visions of dead allies and enemies while racing to stop Kingpin’s assassination. The cover by Jean Frisano captures the moment of crisis with haunting precision.
In "Trahison," the fate of Alpha Flight hangs in the balance as Omega Flight lays siege to the Edmonton Mall, trapping most of the team. With Shaman, Aurora, and Box racing to intervene and Snowbird leaving Doug behind to aid her comrades, the true danger emerges when Guardian—believed to be a trusted ally—reveals his monstrous secret. As the villain seizes Shaman’s medicine pouch and unleashes chaotic magical forces, Talisman struggles to contain the spreading madness, while Shaman’s desperate attempt to save her ends in heartbreak.
In "Et un champion viendra !", Spider-Man faces an impossible trial when the Beyonder tests humanity’s resilience by pitting him against a barrage of spectral memories and the demonic Zarathos. Haunted by the ghosts of his past—friends and foes alike—Spidey must hold fast to his purpose even as despair closes in, all while racing to save Kingpin from an unseen fate.
