Doctor Strange: The Oath #1

Doctor Strange looms large on this striking cover by Marcos Martín — his expression intense, hands glowing with mystical energy, blood visible on his fingers against a bold red-and-yellow background that radiates raw sorcerous power. This opening chapter of the five-part The Oath brings together writer Brian K. Vaughan with the art team of Martín, Álvaro López, and Javier Rodríguez for what promises to be a compelling reinvention of Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme. A confident, stylish start to a 2006 miniseries that clearly has serious creative ambitions.
