“The Enemy Within!”

In "The Enemy Within!", Stephen Strange navigates the gritty streets of Greenwich Village, balancing his mystical duties with the mundane pressures of unpaid bills and a looming building inspection. As he seeks solutions—selling jewels, checking on Baron Mordo, even auditioning for a nightclub gig—his world shifts when The Ancient One warns him of a looming threat named Kaluu. Written by Stan Lee, Denny O'Neil, and Bill Everett, with art by Everett and Ditko, and a cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, this 1966 issue blends urban realism with supernatural tension.

Strange walks the streets of Greenwich Village and after stopping a robbery returns home to find his bills unpaid, his bank account empty, and a city building inspector informing him he has six months to bring his house up to code. He instructs Wong to sell some jewels to pay the bills, checks up on Baron Mordo, thinks back on recent events, and then contacts a theatrical agent, Hiram Barney, about a possible nightclub gig. But he's told magic is "out"-- rock bands are "in"! Just then he's contacted by The Ancient One, who tells him of a most dire menace in the offing, named Kaluu.
