Doctor Strange Epic Collection #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Epic Collection opens with the death of Doctor Strange's mentor, the Ancient One, and Strange's subsequent ascension to the title of Sorcerer Supreme. It collects the early 1970s stories from Marvel Premiere #3-14 and Doctor Strange (vol. 2) #1-18, featuring the debut of the Dormammu-centric arc that gives the volume its name, as well as the introduction of the demonic entity Shuma-Gorath. The run is primarily written by Steve Englehart and drawn by Frank Brunner, with later issues by Gene Colan, establishing a defining era for the Master of the Mystic Arts.
In "Eternity, Eternity," Doctor Strange’s quest to uncover a lurking evil takes a surreal turn when he’s nearly struck by a truck—only to realize he’s been unconscious in a hospital bed all along. As he confronts a mirror-image of himself that claims he’s already lost, the truth unravels in a mind-bending twist that blurs reality and memory. Written by Barry Smith and Stan Lee, with art by Smith and inks by Dan Adkins, this story unfolds with eerie precision, while Frank Brunner’s cover captures its haunting tone.

Sensing evil, Strange is so focused on seeking it out he's almost hit by a truck. He calls upon The Ancient One, who warns him of the nature of the evil, but is still mystified. Then he finds himself confronted by someone (or something) who takes his own form, and tells him he's "already defeated". Only when he discovers his oldest enemy is at the bottom of it does he also realize he was hit by the truck-- and has been in a hospital bed ever since! On recovering, he erases the memory of the night's events from the doctor's mind, as "Many things there are that mankind must not know..."
