Strange Tales #19

This October 1988 anthology issue of Strange Tales brings together an impressive roster, spotlighting Cloak and Dagger alongside Doctor Strange — and, as the cover loudly announces, The Thing and Mayhem join the mix. Cover artists Mike Mignola and Steve Leialoha split the action across two dynamic panels: on the left, The Thing squares off in a rocky, kinetic brawl with a looming green figure, while on the right, Doctor Strange stands poised amid swirling mystical smoke and serpentine creatures, magical energy radiating from his hands. With a tagline teasing "Doc & Things!" and a creative lineup inside that includes writer/inker Terry Austin and artist Erik Larsen, this is a lively chapter in Marvel's tradition of pairing street-level heroes with the Sorcerer Supreme.
