Savage Tales #5

In "The Coming of… Dr. Strange," Stephen Strange journeys to the Himalayas, seeking the Ancient One’s help to heal his damaged nerves. There, he uncovers a dangerous betrayal—Mordo, a fellow student, is plotting to kill his master. With the truth revealed, Strange must decide whether to trust the Ancient One and pursue a path beyond medicine, into the hidden world of the mystic arts. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Dan Adkins, with lettering by Artie Simek, this 1974 issue marks a pivotal moment in the character’s early story, presented in a 30-cent comic from Australia.
