Strange Spécial Origines #172
"Prisonniers de Fatalis" delivers a classic Dr. Strange tale from 1984, featuring a rare co-writing credit from Steve Ditko and Stan Lee, with Ditko handling art, inks, and color. The story plunges Strange into a high-stakes confrontation with Dormammu, where a mysterious girl's betrayal unleashes the Mindless Ones, forcing an uneasy alliance between sorcerer and demon. Cover by Jean-Yves Mitton captures the tension of this pivotal issue, a 8 FRF comic that remains a standout in the series.
In "Prisonniers de Fatalis," Doctor Doom traps the Fantastic Four in his American castle stronghold, then sends the Torch, the Thing, and Mr. Fantastic back in time on a perilous mission to recover Blackbeard's lost treasure. With the fate of the present hanging in the balance, the heroes must navigate the dangers of the past—where every step could unravel their future.
In "Le domaine du terrible Dormammu !", Dr. Strange is thrust into the heart of Dormammu’s realm to stop the ancient sorcerer’s invasion of Earth, with only the fading strength of his mentor to guide him. As he battles relentless horrors across the dimension, a mysterious girl watches his struggle—her warning echoing the true scale of the threat. When Strange finally confronts Dormammu, he refuses to let the Dark Lord harm the Ancient One, forcing a challenge that will decide the fate of both worlds.
In "A nous deux, Dormammu !", Dr. Strange is drawn into a deadly game when a mysterious girl leads him to the realm of the Mindless Ones—beings held in check only by Dormammu’s will. With the barrier failing and chaos unleashed, Dormammu is forced to ally with Strange to survive, striking a bargain that binds him to Earth’s safety. The Ancient One rewards Strange’s victory with a new cloak of levitation and an amulet, marking a turning point in his battle against cosmic threats.
