Docteur Strange #1
"La roue du changement" kicks off a surreal tale in Docteur Strange #1 (1981), where a greedy TV producer's obsession with sensational content leads him to unleash ancient magic—literally. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, the story unfolds with a chilling twist when a spell from a forgotten book sends its reader spiraling into limbo. The cover by Jim Starlin captures the eerie transformation in bold, striking detail.
In "La roue du changement," Doctor Strange ventures into the Quadriverse to confront Visimajoris, the Soul Divider, as the Creators manipulate the Cosmic Wheel of Change to forge a new universe in their image. With Apalla, Queen of the Sun, joining the fray, Strange must unravel the Wheel’s power before it reshapes reality—though his unorthodox tactics may be the key to stopping it.
In "Un monde chaotique," Dr. Strange confronts the demon he's harbored within, only to find the world itself has been twisted into madness by the Creators. As he battles his grotesque, wild-boar incarnation—Dr. Stranger Yet—the boundaries of reality fray further, leaving no certainty in this surreal, unstable realm.
In "Sazzik le sorcier," a greedy TV producer stumbles upon a mysterious book about a long-dead sorcerer, hoping to exploit its dark lore for ratings. But when he reads the incantation aloud, he unwittingly summons the sorcerer’s spirit—only to be cast into limbo as punishment.
