“...While a World Awaits!”

In "While a World Awaits!", Doctor Strange finds himself caught between cosmic forces and earthly obligations, as Umar's manipulation sets a new course for the Sorcerer Supreme. With Dormammu banished by his own vow and the Dark Dimension sealed once more, Strange faces a surprising offer from Dr. Benton—a chance to step back into the world of medicine, even as ancient magic still calls. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with haunting precision by Gene Colan, with inks by Tom Palmer and colors by the same, this 1968 issue features a striking cover by Dan Adkins.
