Strange Tales #187

Two Sorcerers Supreme clash in dramatic fashion on this September 1976 cover by Al Milgrom, inked by Dick Giordano and Dan Adkins — Dr. Strange and his astral form both contend with the crackling mystic bolts hurled by a menacing Baron Mordo, whose green-clad figure dominates the right side of the image. The tagline "Final Combat!" promises high mystical stakes, while Strange's desperate aside about his astral image suggests he's fighting on more than one plane at once. Featuring a story by the foundational Strange Tales team of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, this is a thrilling slice of Marvel's mid-1970s supernatural adventure at its most visually charged.
