“Who Strikes at --- SHIELD?”

In "Who Strikes at --- SHIELD?", Stephen Strange finds himself trapped in a nightmare of isolation and deception when Mordo’s sanctum is mysteriously altered and his allies vanish without a trace. With his magic cut off and his mind under siege, Strange must rely on sheer will to survive as unseen forces test his resolve—both in body and spirit. Written by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, with art by Ditko and a striking cover by Jack Kirby and Mike Esposito, this 1966 issue delivers a tense, cerebral battle of wits that redefines the limits of mystical resistance.

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 & amulet The Demon tries to probe his mind, but Strange is stronger and instead takes control of him. Fighting desperately Strange barely escapes his captors and remains virtually helpless in spirit form.
