X-Men, Les étranges #4
"Direction : l'Enfer !" delivers a wild, surreal twist in the X-Men, Les étranges series, as Brainchild unleashes his monstrous experiments on Angel and Spider-Man, plunging them into grotesque transformations. With Tanya captured and the Fall People caught in the chaos, Lykos steps in to save them—only to emerge as the new Sauron, leaving the fate of the Savage Land uncertain. Chris Claremont’s bold storytelling, brought to life with Michael Golden’s dynamic art and bold colors, makes this a standout 1984 issue, while Christian Goussale’s striking cover captures the madness perfectly.
