In "Once Upon a Time, There Was a Robot...!", Steve Ditko and Stan Lee deliver a mind-bending twist on magic and mystery as Doctor Strange finds himself trapped in a realm where reality bends in unexpected ways. With his powers compromised and his allies vanished, Strange must rely on his wits and a hidden connection to the Ancient One to survive—while a mysterious robot looms in the shadows.

Realizing Mordo's presence has been erased from his sanctum Strange suspects foul play, disposing of a hidden bomb just before it explodes. Stunned by the blast Mordo's minions imprison him so that he cannot use his magic. Strange attempts to telepathically contact The Ancient One, but fails because his spirit form is searching for the missing Clea. While Mordo's minions study Strange's cloak and amulet The Demon tries to probe his mind, but Strange is stronger and instead controls him. Fighting desperately Strange barely escapes his captors and remains virtually helpless in spirit form.
