Doctor Strange #79

Published during Marvel's 25th Anniversary year, this October 1986 issue of Doctor Strange presents a striking cover by Chris Warner — a determined woman in blue, sword in hand, stands surrounded by roiling supernatural flames above a fallen Doctor Strange amid rubble and broken weapons. The title "Fata Morganna!" promises the kind of mystical intrigue this series does so well, with Strange himself apparently on the losing end of whatever confrontation brought him down. Peter B. Gillis scripts with Chris Warner on interior art, making this a fine snapshot of the Sorcerer Supreme's world at its most dramatic and unsettling.
