Doctor Strange #38

Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts, takes center stage on this December 1979 cover as the Sorcerer Supreme unleashes a torrent of mystic energy in a park setting — a blazing, crackling burst of yellow and white magic erupting between him and two terrified civilians, a woman in gold and a man in brown, who reel back in alarm. The tagline "Panic in the Park!" perfectly captures the frantic energy that cover penciler Bob Hall and inker Terry Austin pack into every corner of the image. It's a vivid, kinetic snapshot of Strange's world, where ordinary life and extraordinary sorcery collide in the most unexpected places.
