In "The Hate-Monger!", Doctor Strange confronts a mysterious spellbinding force when he rescues a woman lost in the streets—only to discover she’s none other than Cleopatra, mysteriously transported from Ancient Egypt. With the help of his mentor, Strange journeys into the past, facing the vengeful wizard Zota and risking eternal entrapment when the candle guiding his return flickers out. A masterful blend of mysticism and suspense, this 1968 classic features Stan Lee’s writing and Steve Ditko’s iconic art, with cover by Jack Kirby and Paul Reinman.
