Mad Monk

Lurking in the mystical corners of Marvel's Copper Age, Mad Monk made their debut in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #9 in 1989, brought to life by the seasoned creative team of Roy Thomas, R.J.M. Lofficier, and David Day. It's a rarefied circle this character inhabits — the same pages as Thor, the Black Knight, Modred the Mystic, Carol Danvers, and Spider-Woman speak to a world steeped in Marvel's supernatural and heroic mythology. With appearances collected across the Doctor Strange Epic Collection and the Sorcerer Supreme Omnibus, Mad Monk may be a rare find in the catalog, but for devoted readers spelunking through Doctor Strange's most celebrated run, that scarcity only adds to the intrigue.
