Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #89

In "Afterlife, Part Two," Doctor Strange confronts the terrifying aftermath of his own magic when he resurrects Afterlife from Purgatory—only to face a soul-stealing rampage that tests his limits. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life by Mark Buckingham’s striking interior art and inks by Kevin Sutherland, this 1996 issue delivers a haunting, emotionally charged twist as Strange uncovers the truth behind the entity he freed. The cover by Mark Buckingham captures the moment’s intensity, perfectly framing the supernatural stakes.
