Doctor Strange #8

Jun 1975 · Marvel · 0.25 USD
“Rights of Passage!”

In "Rights of Passage!", Doctor Strange faces a spiritual reckoning as he and Clea journey deep into the Dark Dimension to confront her father, Orini. With Gene Colan’s haunting artwork and Tom Palmer’s dynamic inks bringing the mystical clash to life, the duo performs a pagan ritual that unleashes the G'uranthic Guardian—only to see Strange’s stolen power transferred to Clea. Steve Englehart crafts a story of legacy and liberation, as Strange ultimately reclaims his power and helps Clea break free from her past. The cover by Gil Kane and Tom Palmer captures the moment with striking intensity, making this 1975 25-cent marvel a standout in the series.
