Strange #214
In "Douleurs," Steve Rogers faces a haunting psychic call from a woman he once saved, leading him into the twisted domain of August Masters, a man obsessed with weaponizing the world’s greatest psychics. With the Defenders already captured, Cap joins their fight, only to make a desperate choice when Masters triggers a self-destruct sequence—opting to surrender rather than let innocents die. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and illustrated by Mike Zeck, with inks by John Beatty and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1987 issue features a striking cover by Mike Mignola and Al Milgrom.

Cap gets a psychic distress signal from a woman he rescued from Morgan Hardy and enters the complex of August Masters who plans on using the powers of the world's foremost psychics to start World War III. Finding the Defenders already captured, Cap helps in their rescue and stays behind to cover their escape. Rather than watch everyone in the complex die from Masters' self destruct mechanism, Cap and the Defenders allow themselves to be taken prisoner once again.
