“L'Araignée et le fabriquant de jouets !”

In "L'Araignée et le fabriquant de jouets !", Stan Lee and Jack Kirby deliver a high-stakes tale where Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants seize control of the South American nation of Santo Marco by hijacking a freighter. The X-Men launch a daring rescue mission, but when Xavier is caught in a devastating explosion, his telepathic abilities are lost—leaving the team vulnerable and the future uncertain. The story’s bold visuals come courtesy of Jack Kirby’s dynamic art, with Paul Reinman’s inks adding depth, while Jean-Yves Mitton’s cover captures the tension with striking detail.
