Strange #36
In "Mekano existe!", Joe Smith, an ordinary man with a dream, transforms into something far beyond human when a lab accident fuses him with a mechanical suit, unleashing a rage fueled by years of doubt. As the city grapples with a sudden surge of violence, Spider-Man finds himself hunted by mercenaries hired by Norman Osborn, all while narrowly avoiding a chance encounter with Mary Jane. Written by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, with art and inks by Ditko and colors by Stan Goldberg, this 1972 French edition of Strange #36 features a cover by Jean Frisano.
In "La prison vivante," the line between identity and illusion blurs as DD and Doom are suddenly restored to their original forms—though the Fantastic Four remain unaware of the change. What unfolds is a tense, surreal journey where past selves collide with present realities, and the truth of who they are begins to unravel.
In "Un gars nommé Joe!", Joe Smith, a man with no superpowers and even less luck, trades his failed fight career for a shot at fame as a robot-costumed actor—only to be transformed into something far more dangerous when an accident unleashes a surge of electricity and chemicals. Now caught in a violent rampage fueled by humiliation and rage, Joe becomes a walking storm of retribution, while Spider-Man struggles to stay alive under a bounty from Norman Osborn, all while narrowly avoiding a chance encounter with Mary Jane.
