Le Fils de Satan #17
"Spider-Man contre Xandu" brings together legendary creators Stan Lee, Denny O'Neil, and Bill Everett, with art by Everett and Steve Ditko, in a rare collaboration that blends mystical intrigue with urban tension. In this 1980 issue, Strange navigates financial strain and a shifting world of magic and music, from Greenwich Village's quiet streets to a cryptic warning from the Ancient One about the looming threat of Kaluu. The cover by Barry Windsor-Smith and Sam Grainger captures the eerie, otherworldly mood, making this a standout entry in the series' early years.
In "Spider-Man contre Xandu," Spider-Man swings into action when he intercepts two henchmen raiding Dr. Strange’s sanctum, mistaking them for common thieves. What follows is an unlikely alliance as the web-slinger teams up with the Sorcerer Supreme to thwart Xandu’s scheme to claim the Wand of Watoomb—before it falls into the wrong hands.
In "La haine de Kaluu !", Strange navigates the gritty streets of Greenwich Village, juggling unpaid bills and a looming building inspection, all while the city seems to have forgotten the power of magic. As he seeks a new path—hinting at a nightclub act and a cryptic call from The Ancient One—he’s drawn into a looming threat from a forgotten evil named Kaluu.
In "Gruto !", a desperate journalist spins a tale of terror around an amnesiac alien, feeding the public’s fear for a more sensational story. When the alien finally remembers its true purpose—peaceful sharing of advanced technology—it’s met not with wonder, but with the journalist’s deceit and the crowd’s violence, leaving it to depart in quiet disillusionment.
In "Les créatures de la nuit," explorer Kenneth Ward uncovers an ancient idol tied to the mysterious Undying Ones, drawing the attention of three demonic entities. When Strange intervenes to protect the relic, Ward’s life is tragically cut short by heart failure in the aftermath.
