Strange #220
"La vie en violet" delivers a tense, character-driven twist in Strange #220, a 1988 French edition from Editions Lug. Written by Christopher Priest and illustrated by Erik Larsen, with inks by Art Nichols and colors by Julianna Ferriter, the story unfolds with Spidey tracking Daredevil through a drug den, only to collide with Matt Murdock at Aunt May’s—leading to a violent clash that’s far from what it seems. The cover, by Dave Ross, captures the mood of intrigue, as the mystery of the Rose and the Kingpin’s return unfold in a tale where loyalty and deception blur.
In "La vie en violet," Northstar takes a break from duty to ski—until he crosses paths with Kara Killgrave, the daughter of the Purple Man, who’s inherited her father’s power to command minds. After a brief but intense encounter, she brings him to Alpha Flight, seeking help as she struggles to control the dangerous gift she’s inherited.
In "Le jour du jugement viendra...", Spider-Man navigates a dangerous drug den while tracking Daredevil, only to collide with Matt Murdock at Aunt May’s kitchen—where a heated argument erupts into a brawl. As tensions rise, the Hobgoblin intercepts a spy near the Kingpin’s old stronghold, learning the crime lord’s return is imminent. When Spider-Man confronts the man he believes to be the Kingpin, he’s stunned to find it’s Daredevil in disguise—leading to a brutal clash that ends only when the real Daredevil intervenes to save his friend.
