Docteur Strange Classic #1
In "La défaite du Dr Strange, chapitre I : La fuite," Stephen Strange flees through collapsing dimensions after his clash with Mordo, landing in a realm ruled by the ruthless sorceress Shazana—once a trickster who betrayed her own master. With his strength spent and his mind reeling, Strange must navigate a world where loyalty is a weapon and power is a curse, all while uncovering the truth behind Shazana’s sister’s sudden interest in him. Written by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee, with art by Ditko and inks by Ditko, this 1984 classic features a striking cover by John Byrne and Al Milgrom, capturing the eerie beauty of Strange’s descent into a realm where magic is both salvation and trap.
In "La défaite du Dr Strange, chapitre I : La fuite," Dr. Strange is pushed to his limits as Mordo, empowered by Dormammu, hunts him across Tibet and Hong Kong. With his mentor in hiding and spirits sent by Dormammu closing in, Strange must rely on old allies and quick thinking to stay one step ahead. The story unfolds with tense momentum, grounded in desperation and the cost of survival.
In the far East, Jo is on the run from Mordo and his minions, unaware that Mordo’s growing power stems from Dormammu. With Mordo pressing the hunt, Jo devises a plan to escape by boarding a plane to New York City—only to be cornered by the Wraiths. Through a clever ruse, Jo tricks them into believing he’s vanished, buying just enough time to slip away.
In "Chapitre III : Face à face avec le Baron Mordo !", Dr. Strange returns to his Greenwich Village sanctum only to find it infiltrated by one of Mordo's followers. As he navigates the trap-laden sanctuary, the All-Seeing Eye betrays him, summoning Mordo—and the far greater presence of Dormammu—into his midst. The confrontation escalates with terrifying speed, revealing a foe whose power is unlike anything Strange has faced before.
In "Chapitre IV : Un pays sans nom," Doctor Strange finds himself adrift through fractured dimensions before landing in a realm ruled by the ruthless Shazana, a sorceress who seized power by betraying the very wizard who empowered her. With Shazana convinced her sister has sent Strange to depose her, he must endure imprisonment not just to heal, but to uncover the truth behind the tyrant’s hold—before using her own source of power to begin his return.
In "Chapitre V : Au cœur du soleil," Dr. Strange, hiding on Earth after returning from exile, is hunted by Mordo’s spirits while Clea draws Dormammu’s attention by unleashing the Mindless Ones. As chaos erupts, Strange makes a desperate flight into the sun—only to return to the weakened Ancient One, who whispers of "Eternity" before slipping into delirium. With Dormammu consolidating his power and Clea fearing exposure, Strange sets out on a new quest, haunted by the word that may hold the key to everything.
In London, Dr. Strange seeks answers about Eternity at the secluded home of Sir Baskerville, a former disciple of Mordo’s, who greets him with unexpected familiarity. As Dormammu learns of Clea’s betrayal in freeing the Mindless Ones, he vows retribution—unaware that Strange is already unraveling the truth behind Mordo’s rising power. With Baskerville’s help and a clever ruse that turns Mordo’s spirits against him, Strange gains a crucial advantage, but the game is far from over.
