Strange Spécial Origines #202
In "L'arrivée du Faucon !", Captain America—displaced to a tropical island by the Red Skull’s use of the Cosmic Cube—teams up with a Harlem-based falconer enlisted by the Exiles. As the falconer struggles to protect the island’s people from the Exiles’ presence, Captain America encourages him to embrace a new identity, leading to the birth of the Falcon. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Gene Colan with inks by Joe Sinnott, this 1986 issue features a striking cover by Jean-Yves Mitton, capturing the moment of transformation in a vibrant, dynamic style.
In the 1986 anthology Strange Spécial Origines #202, "L'arrivée du Faucon !" sees Captain America stranded on a tropical island after the Red Skull hijacks his body and uses the Cosmic Cube to send him away. There, he meets Jo, a falconer from Harlem hired by the Exiles, who’s secretly helping the islanders resist their occupation. With Jo’s skills and Cap’s guidance, a new hero begins to rise—though the path ahead remains uncharted.
In "Un homme dans une fourmilière !", Henry Pym’s experimental shrinking serum goes awry when he tests it—only to find himself trapped in an ant hill, overwhelmed by the tiny creatures. Though attacked, he’s surprised when one ant shows him an unexpected kindness, guiding him to safety and helping him return to his normal size. The experience leaves him shaken, and he destroys the serum, convinced its dangers outweigh its potential.
