Strange #229
In "Démence," Otto Octavius confronts his fractured mind in a chilling session of psychotherapy, where his nightmares of Spider-Man trigger his mechanical arms to break free—reasserting their deadly will. With the web-slinger using a tell-all book as bait, a tense showdown erupts between hero and villain, but Ock escapes, leaving the stakes higher than ever. Written by David Michelinie and illustrated by Alex Saviuk, with inks by Vince Colletta and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1989 issue features a cover by Bob Layton, capturing the psychological tension in bold, striking detail.
