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.
In "Douleurs," Shaman brings urgent news to Alpha Flight: Snowbird is pregnant, and with the elder gods unwilling to guide them to a sacred place for the birth, he seeks help from Doctor Strange. Meanwhile, Byrrah arrives at the Avengers' base with a dire message—Attuma has seized control of Atlantis and taken Marrina hostage—prompting Namor to leave the team and race to her rescue.
In "Le choc des guerriers," Sandman teams up with Spider-Man and Sable to fend off the Sinister Syndicate, while Jack O’Lantern’s mistaken rescue of Flash Thompson sparks a clash with the true Hobgoblin—setting off a fierce confrontation neither side expected.
In "Si tu veux la paix, prépare la guerre !", Steve Rogers answers a psychic call from a woman he once saved, leading him into the high-stakes web of August Masters, a man who plans to ignite World War III using the world’s most powerful psychics. Trapped in Masters’ complex with the Defenders already captured, Cap joins their fight, helping orchestrate a daring escape—only to sacrifice freedom by surrendering again, knowing the facility’s self-destruct is imminent.
