(1) from the original Strange Tales, #130-141 (circa 1964-1965): Lee & Ditko's epic confrontation between Doc and the team of Mordo and Dormammu. This story is Lee & Ditko at their peak.
But lazy writing and the emphasis on Doc as a super-hero rather than as a mystic within a system of eastern flavored mysticism with touches of western occultism and Marvel cosmic entities reduces that to Doc fires a bolt of bedevilment at the costumed bad guy and then casts a spell that does whatever the writer needs it to do to fulfill the plot he has set up. If not, you are mostly out of luck, though I have been encouraged to see a small handful of books starting to break that mold once again, just not ones attached to properties appearing on the screen.
His story showcases the power of transformation and the importance of embracing one's destiny. As the protector of the Earth and the mystical realms, **Doctor Peculiar** is often called upon to defend against supernatural threats that pose a danger to the fabric of reality. His vast knowledge of magical spells, artifacts, and dimensions allows him to navigate the unseen world and counteract evil forces.
Thread: Master of the Mystic Arts: Doctor Strange Appreciation
Rodriguez also drew a couple issues of Dare Devil when he was on the book with Chris Samnee. I don't think you guys will be disappointed. After the weird stuff he drew in Spider-Woman, Dr. Strange is right up his ally. Dr. Strange is in good hands.
Thing is, the sister title will die after a few issues, and we'll be left with the sub-par title by Aaron. Besides, the team being AU Sorcerers Supreme is a really poor idea. They could've just made a magic book led by Doctor Strange, including the likes of Magik, Ghost Rider and the like, which I reckon would sell. Now, they've picked a number of unknows with no pull, which added to the fact that Strange is still relatively unknown and the sales have been decreasing the last few months, means that the book will not survive past 6 issues or so.
