Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #59

In "Cage of Refuge," Doctor Strange faces a desperate gamble as he uses Kyllian's staff to track down the hidden Iskelior dimension—just as the fragile barriers holding it together begin to crumble under Lilith's influence. With time running out, Kyllian makes a fateful choice to seal himself within the dimension to contain the threat. Written and illustrated by Geof Isherwood, with inks by Sandu Florea and letters by Sue Crespi, this 1993 issue delivers a tense, intimate clash of magic and sacrifice. The cover, also by Isherwood, captures the moment’s weight in stark, haunting detail.
