  <description><![CDATA[Stephen Strange is Doctor Strange. But he is no doctor, and least not the kind that would initially come to mind. He is the Master of the Mystic Arts, a sorcerer supreme, a white knight who wields black magic against blacker villains still. Strange is mankind's only hope against the dark otherworldly forces that conspire to destroy the conscious world - forces such as Baron Mordo, the Dread Dormammu, Nightmare, Aggamon, The House of Shadows, Loki, the Mindless Ones and more.  Collected here in glorious black and white is the run of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's amazing run of Strange Tales #110, 111, &amp; 114-168 - Strange's first and greatest adventures.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[At the risk of blasphemy, it's in <em>Doctor Strange</em>, not <em>Spider-Man</em>, where we see the full range of artist Steve Ditko's talents.  The other-worldliness of Doctor Strange is still jaw-dropping nearly 50 years after the original issues.  Unfortunately the stories themselves have not aged well.

    <![CDATA[Stephen Strange is Doctor Strange. But he is no doctor, and least not the kind that would initially come to mind. He is the Master of the Mystic Arts, a sorcerer supreme, a white knight who wields black magic against blacker villains still. Strange is mankind's only hope against the dark otherworldly forces that conspire to destroy the conscious world - forces such as Baron Mordo, the Dread Dormammu, Nightmare, Aggamon, The House of Shadows, Loki, the Mindless Ones and more.  Collected here in glorious black and white is the run of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's amazing run of Strange Tales #110, 111, &amp; 114-168 - Strange's first and greatest adventures.]]>
