“The Coming of... Dr. Strange”

In "The Coming of... Dr. Strange," a pivotal chapter in the early saga of the Sorcerer Supreme, a resurrected Stephen Strange confronts the lingering threat of Dormammu, whose defeat stems from a twist of his own ancient vow. With help from Clea and Victoria Bentley, Strange emerges from the shadows of his past, now facing a new path when a former colleague offers him a chance to return to the world of medicine. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with moody precision by Gene Colan, with inks by Tom Palmer and colors by Tom Palmer, this issue captures the mystical and grounded tension that defines Strange’s origin. The cover by Gene Colan completes the look of a landmark moment in the character’s journey.
