Spécial Strange #13
In "... lequel vaincra le Fléau ?", writer Len Wein and artists Sal Buscema, Frank Giacoia, and Dave Hunt deliver a high-stakes clash between Spider-Man and Dr. Strange as Xandu unleashes chaos by stealing a crystal and reactivating the Wand of Watoomb. With their powers stripped in a foreign dimension, the two heroes must temporarily swap abilities to survive—and fight back—while facing the tragic aftermath of Xandu’s past. The cover by Jean Frisano captures the tension of this crossover moment in a 1978 French edition from Editions Lug.
