“A Mystic Reborn!”

In "A Mystic Reborn!", Dr. Strange’s legendary origin is reimagined with striking clarity and supernatural flair. Written by Roger Stern and brought to life by Paul Smith’s dynamic art—inked by Terry Austin and colored by Bob Sharen—this 1982 classic revisits the moment the surgeon’s life changed forever, as the mystical forces of the Purple Dimension rise in unexpected ways. The cover, also by Paul Smith, captures the eerie intensity of the moment.
