FUTURA is a mysterious woman from a parallel dimension. JALEB is the secretive agent of a Galactic Federation of telepaths. JAYDEE is a teenage, alien metamorph, abandoned on Earth as a baby, and who may well be the deadliest killing machine in the universe... These characters, all “strangers” to Earth, are brought together by TANKA, a former jungle lord who has been recruited by entities from our planet’s farthest future to be their “time agent” and is now empowered to protect our world from extra-terrestrial menaces.
This thirteenth volume of Strangers concludes our fourth “season”, in which our heroes face Jaydee’s and Glory’s “brother”, the deadly Salamandrite No. 17 and work together to thwart his plan to bring to its ancient masters, the alien Hemocrats, to Earth. This issue also includes four shorter stories starring The Weapon-Makers of Zade, Dick Spade: Revenant, Bathy-09: from the International Oceanic Force. and The Black Lys, French superheroine and founding member of the Hexagon Group.
Really love that cover and the image does not do it justice! I've said it so many times: I love Macall's art style -some pencil pages are reproduced in the back of this book.

The Children of Zade story is fun; starting quietly then moving into action and...guess who pops up at the end of the story? Buy the book and find out! If you have a combination of story by Lofficier and art by Macall you really can't expect anything other than a classic comic strip.Which means you get more than your money's worth.
The Weapon Makers of Zade -we'll just accept that it is a good read. Berger's art is nice and clean and that splash pages are just something you want to keep checking out. Thew amount of detail in each is amazing. Believe me; I have looked them over a lot!
Dick Spade -Revenant with art by Picard is a complete change of style showing Lofficier can handle the detective genre. This one I was not expecting and was fun to read.
Bathy 09:has an art style by Ruiz I was not sure about but it grew on me Dagoth looks really menacing and was a worthy opponent for a first mission.
Black Lys was another enjoyable adventure and the lesson I took away from it was NEVER call Black Lys "a weak woman" -someone will have to pick up all the pieces and mop up after.
Thankfully, my PC lasted long enough today! Strangers is certainly a series that presents different characters so it never gets stale. And as always; I recommend the title. Take a chance and see what you are missing because if you are not buying...you are missing out!
