A lot of mystic arts in one small package
The earliest Doctor Strange from Strange Tales 110-111, 114-146 and Amazing Spider-man Annual #2 are here selected in full color and on slick paper from the massive Marvel comics library as created by Steve Ditko and the prolific Stan Lee (et.al.).
Collecting such a run of the original comic books would now be an expensive and tedious task. Many of the issues would be slabbed and graded. Enjoying single issues would require archival gloves and- god forbid- you could not breathe on a single page. So, buy this book!
The only drawback of this publication is that the gutters are, for the most part, non-existent, meaning that to really enjoy this publication, the book, by necessity, would need to be opened flat which would crack the spine.
Doctor Strange, with the sometimes aid of the Ancient One, combats, occasionally in a tedious fashion, a never-ending battle against beings from other multitudinous dimensions intent, for some reason, upon conquering earth which is just a mere pebble in comparison to the universes.
Lee’s notebook must have been packed with such words and phrases as the Dread Dormammu and the hoary hands of Hogarth. He just kept it going, and Ditko must have worn out several pencil sharpeners between Doctor Strange and his many other assignments. I just cannot stop enjoying Ditko art.
Oh, those were the days, when huge racks were packed full of comic books all in color for a mere dime, or twelve cents, or fifteen cents, or a quarter for a square backed annual.
