Strange #1

From Marvel Knights comes this 2004 reimagining of Doctor Strange, opening with a cover by Brandon Peterson that immediately sets a contemplative, grounded tone. A lone figure in worn, bloodied clothing climbs a rocky outcropping, leaning on a wooden staff as snow-capped Himalayan peaks and a distant monastery stretch out before him — a man clearly at the end of one journey and the threshold of another. J. Michael Straczynski and Sara Barnes bring their talents to this fresh take on the Sorcerer Supreme's beginnings, and Peterson's painterly cover promises something more intimate and human than you might expect.
