Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #22

Part 2 of "The Dark Wars" finds Baron Mordo front and center as the self-proclaimed new Sorcerer Supreme, his steely gaze and defiant "Long enough!" leaving little doubt he intends to hold that title by any means necessary. Enormous, claw-tipped tentacles coil behind him while a dark-haired woman looks on warily at his side — a cover composition by Butch Guice that crackles with menace and uneasy power. With Roy Thomas and Dann Thomas steering the story and Jackson Guice handling interior art, this 1990 chapter promises the kind of high-stakes mystical conflict that made this era of Doctor Strange so compelling.
