Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #1

In Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #1 (1988), the mystical world mourns the loss of its guardian as heroes gather for Dr. Strange’s funeral—only to find he’s still very much alive, having just completed a battle at sea. After returning home, Strange enters his Astral Form, where Dormammu seizes control of his body, turning the sanctuary of his mind into a deadly battleground. Written by Peter B. Gillis and illustrated by Richard Case, with inks by Randy Emberlin, colors by Bob Sharen, and letters by Janice Chiang, this issue’s cover by Kevin Nowlan captures the eerie tension of a sorcerer’s spirit under siege.
