Strange #47
"La fin des X-Men" marks a pivotal moment in the Strange series, offering a rare and compelling look at Peter Parker’s life beyond the mask. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Romita with inks by Mickey Dimeo, this 1973 issue captures a turning point where Peter briefly abandons his identity as Spider-Man, only to be drawn back by the consequences of his absence. The cover, by Jean Frisano, presents a striking image that hints at the emotional weight of the story, all set against the backdrop of a city unraveling without its web-slinger.
In "La fin des X-Men," the X-Men gather at the mansion for the reading of Professor Xavier’s will, only to be interrupted by the sudden return of the Juggernaut from the Crimson Cosmos. Now facing the wrath of a grief-stricken Juggy, who sees the X-Men as the last link to his dead half-brother, chaos erupts as the team struggles to survive his rampage. With the mansion in ruins and their purpose shattered, Agent Duncan delivers the final order: disband.
In "Adieu à Foggy !", Matt Murdock faces a desperate race against time as Stilt-Man targets Foggy Nelson, threatening to end his life just before a crucial election. With Foggy poised to become District Attorney, their friendship fractures under the weight of a misunderstanding that leaves Matt questioning what loyalty truly means.
In "Plus jamais... L'Araignée !", Peter Parker steps away from his dual life, trading the web-slinging for college lectures and quiet days—until a discarded suit resurfaces at the Daily Bugle, sparking a wave of crime and guilt. As the city descends into chaos under the Kingpin’s rising shadow, Peter must confront the weight of his choices and the legacy of Uncle Ben, all while grappling with the quiet life he’d tried to build.
