Special Strange

Special Strange is a magazine of Cartoon published July 1975 at December 1996 by the editions Lug (become Semic in 1989).

Created five years after Strange and also specialized in the series of Superman of the universe Marvel, this review was quarterly during nearly ten years before becoming two-monthly as from January 1986 (n°43) then monthly as from September 1995 (n°100). With its beginnings, it was sold 3,5 FRF.

Lug having been repurchased by Semic, the review changes model and of logo in January 1989 (n° 60) just as the other publications of the editor: Strange , Titans , Nova and Spidey .

Series

The formula varied only seldom with the wire of time, the magazine making up of a principal series and two or three secondary series. At the beginning, the magazine seems to be designed to publish Giant Size, of the special issues appearing every three months that Marvel launched in 1974. However the experiment ends in 1975, which forces Lug to reconsider the contents.

In the first number published the July 10th 1975, three series thus appear in the synopsis: Giant-Size Fantastic Furnace Four Fantastic , Giant-Size Spider-Man the Spider ( Spider-Man ) and Marvel Two-in-One the Thing . Giant-Size Fantastic Furnace stopped after five numbers carried out by Gerry Conway and John Buscema is replaced by the X-Men which will remain in place until the last number of December 1996 (the publication starts with number 94 of the American series, the n°1 with 63 are appeared in Strange and the following episodes correspond to republications with the the United States of America). Giant-Size Spider-Man is replaced by Marvel TEAM-Up which follows the same formula (Spider-Man meets another hero).

The Araignée appears until number 55 and leaves the place to Longshot during seven episodes.

Starting from the number 62 the Thing is replaced by Namor even replaced to him by the New Warriors starting from number 75.

Daredevil makes its great return of the Nineties in number 100 and, in number 101, it is Génération X which returns in scene, which changes then to four the number of series different from the newspaper.
