Doctor Strange Classics Starring Doctor Strange #3

In "What Lurks Beneath the Mask?", Doctor Strange races against time to uncover the truth behind Dormammu’s fury, following a trail of ancient secrets that leads from Tibet to a hidden dimension. With only cryptic clues from the Aged Genghis and the fading wisdom of his mentor’s servant, Strange must confront the deepest mysteries of his own past—by entering the mind of The Ancient One.

In "When Meet the Mystic Minds!", Dr. Strange ventures into the depths of The Ancient One’s unconscious mind in a desperate bid to uncover the secret of Eternity, facing one perilous illusion after another. Guided by his memories and resolve, he finally reaches the core of his master’s mind, where he must prove his identity and intentions in a test of trust and will. After emerging from the trance, Strange stands atop a Himalayan peak, uttering a powerful incantation that causes his amulet to float, expand, and open a mystical doorway—just as Mordo arrives, too late to stop him.

In the vast, incomprehensible reaches beyond time and space, Doctor Strange confronts Eternity itself—only to be told that the power he seeks has always been within him. Though the threat of Mordo and Dormammu looms over all existence, Strange returns to the cave to find his mentor vanished, left to face the darkness alone.
