Strange Tales #137

In "The Prize Is... Earth!", SHIELD agents make a desperate stand to protect vital microfilm from falling into HYDRA’s hands, only to sacrifice themselves in the process. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Leslie Farrington of Imperial Industries tasks his assistant, Brown, with uncovering secrets among the board members—each a potential link to the hidden Hydra network. Below the boardroom, the HYDRA leader confronts his daughter, "Agent G," as the Betratron Bomb is set on course, its launch unstoppable.

In "When Meet the Mystic Minds!", Dr. Strange ventures into the deepest recesses of The Ancient One’s mind, confronting a series of perilous mental traps in a desperate bid to uncover the secret of Eternity. Guided by sheer will and the faint echo of a bond long forged, he finally reaches his master’s consciousness—only to face the ultimate test of trust. After his ordeal, Strange stands atop a Himalayan peak, uttering a spell of ancient power, as his amulet rises, expands, and opens a portal through which he steps. Moments later, Mordo arrives, too late to stop him—his enemy vanished into the unknown.
