Doctor Strange #50

The milestone 50th issue of Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts arrives with a cover by Marshall Rogers and Terry Austin that puts the Sorcerer Supreme in an immediately gripping situation — looming over a wide-eyed, pink-faced figure whose startled expression suggests some powerful mystic confrontation is well underway, while Strange's yellow-gloved hands grip the figure and a piercing beam of light connects them against a vivid swirl of orange and green energy. It's a bold, close-up composition that fills every inch of the page with tension and otherworldly color, perfectly suited to a story titled "The Cat & the Cataclysm." With the full creative team of Roger Stern, Rogers, and Terry Austin working together on this anniversary issue, fans of Marvel's mystical corner of 1981 will find plenty to appreciate here.
