"Moment of Truth" in Terrific! #20 (1967) delivers a gripping chapter in Dr. Strange’s ongoing battle against Mordo, with Steve Ditko handling writing, art, inks, and lettering for a deeply personal and visually striking tale. As Strange returns to his Greenwich Village sanctum only to find it infiltrated, he must rely on cunning and the remnants of his mystical knowledge—only to trigger a trap that exposes him to Dormammu’s reach. The story unfolds with quiet dread, anchored in the tension between faith, perception, and the unseen forces at play, all rendered with Ditko’s signature precision. The cover by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone captures the moment’s intensity with dynamic energy.
