In "The Mysterious Molecule Man!", Doctor Strange confronts a spellbinding deception that tests his mystical senses and wits.

Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, with colors by Stan Goldberg and letters by Art Simek, this 1968 classic features a striking cover by Jack Kirby and John Verpoorten, inked by George Roussos and John Verpoorten.
