Strange #222
In "Le Super-Bouffon démasqué !", Peter David and Alan Kupperberg deliver a gripping chapter of Spider-Man’s saga as the fallout from Ned Leeds’ death hits hard. With Betty unraveling and the new Hobgoblin striking, Peter races to uncover the truth—only to find the file that could clear Flash Thompson destroyed in a fiery clash. The cover by John Buscema and Tom Palmer captures the tension perfectly, making this 1988 French edition a must-have for fans of the web-slinger’s darker, more personal era.
In "Le Super-Bouffon démasqué !", Peter Parker grapples with grief and suspicion after Ned Leeds’ body is returned and his funeral draws mourners from across the city. As Peter tries to comfort Betty, her unraveling state mirrors the chaos brewing in the shadows—where the new Hobgoblin strikes and Kingpin hands Spider-Man a file that could change everything. With the truth burning in the heat of battle and Flash Thompson finally exonerated, Peter must decide what kind of hero he’ll be next.
