Strange Spécial Origines #226
In "Et le vent hurle... Wendigo !", the Hulk seeks solitude in the Canadian wilderness, only to be pulled into a chilling mystery when he stumbles upon a cave tied to the cursed Wendigo. With the help of Marie and Georges, who aim to transfer the Wendigo’s power to restore Paul Cartier, the Hulk awakens from a magical slumber just as the creature itself appears—setting off a clash of titans. As the Canadian government dispatches Wolverine to track the Hulk, the stage is set for a storm of supernatural forces. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, with inks by Jack Abel and colors by Glynis Wein, this 1988 issue features a striking cover by John Byrne and Jean-Yves Mitton.
In a remote stretch of Canadian wilderness, the Hulk stumbles upon a cave tied to the ancient curse of the Wendigo, where Marie—sister to the man who became the monster—awaits with a desperate plan. With Georges, she hopes to transfer the Wendigo’s power to the Hulk to free Paul Cartier, but her magic falters just as the creature awakens. As the battle begins, the Canadian government sends Wolverine to track down the Hulk, setting the stage for a clash of strength, mystery, and survival.
In "Et voici... Serval !", Canadian super-agent Jo teams up with the Hulk to confront the terrifying Wendigo, but their alliance fractures when Jo turns on the Hulk mid-battle. As Marie pushes forward with her plan to transfer the Wendigo's power, guilt over Paul Cartier's transformation drives Georges to take the change upon himself—leading to a shocking transformation that redefines who he is.
In "La naissance du Scarabée !", Abner Jenkins transforms from a clever mechanic-inventor into the masked menace known as The Beetle, setting off a clash that pits his tech-driven ego against the unlikely duo of Johnny and Ben. When his scheme at the NY World's Fair backfires, the tables turn in a showdown that redefines who’s really in control.
