Stephen Strange

Stephen Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme of Marvel Comics — a brilliant but arrogant surgeon whose hands are shattered in a car accident, driving him to seek healing in Tibet, where he instead becomes Earth's foremost master of the mystic arts under the Ancient One.

Stepping out of the pages of DC gegen Marvel #1 in 1996, Stephen Strange is a Modern Age figure whose thirty-year presence in the Hachette German-language catalog speaks to a quietly enduring appeal. With three key-issue appearances to their name and 51 catalog entries spread across titles like Marvel Origins, Marvel Special, and Spider-Man, this is a character who has kept remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Spider-Man, Captain America, and more. Whether you're a devoted collector of European Marvel editions or simply curious about how the broader Marvel universe translated across the Atlantic, Stephen Strange offers a fascinating thread to follow through decades of continental comics publishing.
