Dr. Strange Annual #1

Marvel's 1976 King-Size Annual for the Master of the Mystic Arts is a double-length treat, subtitled "Doomworld!" on the cover itself. Dave Cockrum's cover art crackles with tension as Dr. Strange strains against a rocky, erupting landscape while a red-costumed woman unleashes blazing mystical energy above him and a figure in purple tumbles helplessly through a swirling dimensional vortex — all framed by a villain's chilling ultimatum: save your loved one or stop a planet's destruction, but not both. It's a vivid snapshot of the impossible dilemmas that made Strange's corner of the Marvel Universe so compelling in this era.
