Doctor Strange #39

Doctor Strange — Master of the Mystic Arts — faces a genuinely chilling threat on this 1980 cover by Al Milgrom: two skeletal, red-eyed undead figures lunge at the Sorcerer Supreme from within a swirling dimensional vortex, while a crowd of skulls and bony figures looms ominously behind them, scythes raised. Strange's crimson Cloak of Levitation billows dramatically as he braces against the onslaught, his golden-gloved hand ablaze with mystic energy. With Chris Claremont scripting and Gene Colan on interior art, "The Old Dark House" promises a moody, atmospheric chapter that plays to both creators' considerable strengths in supernatural horror.
