Strange #219
In "L'amour roi," a 1988 French edition of Strange, Peter Parker lies unconscious in an alley after being hit by the Punisher’s gas, while Richard Fisk grapples with his father’s legacy in a tense encounter with a mysterious woman. As midnight approaches, a web of secrets unfolds—Matt Murdock’s urgent call, MJ’s withheld warning, and a looming mob meeting that spirals into chaos. Written by Christopher Priest and illustrated by Alan Kupperberg, with inks by Jim Fern and Art Nichols and colors by Bob Sharen, this issue captures the raw tension of betrayal and identity. The cover, by Jean-Yves Mitton, sets the mood with a haunting, stylized portrait of Spidey in shadow.
