Stephen Strange

Stephen Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme of the Marvel Universe, a former brilliant but arrogant surgeon who, after a career-ending accident, sought healing and instead discovered the mystical arts under the Ancient One, becoming Earth's foremost defender against supernatural threats.

A fascinating corner of the Marvel universe awaits collectors who dig into this Bronze Age incarnation of Stephen Strange, who made his catalog debut in The Fantastic Four #1 in 1979 under the Dutch publisher Juniorpress. Appearing most frequently across De Verdedigers, Fantastic Four, and Marvel Superhelden, this is clearly a character rooted in the rich world of European Marvel reprints, bringing Strange's mystical presence to a whole new readership. With 20 appearances spanning the early-to-mid 1980s, he shares pages with a remarkable roster including the Hulk, Brunnhilde, and Walkure — vivid company that speaks to the grand, cosmos-spanning adventures these titles collected. A genuinely rewarding find for collectors with a taste for international Marvel history.
