Uncanny Tales #87
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Diamond Dancers," Steve Ditko and Stan Lee deliver a spellbinding journey as Strange, drawn into a mystery by a woman bewitched, uncovers a sorcerous link to Ancient Egypt. With art by Ditko and inks by Geo. Bell, the tale unfolds as he ventures into the past, facing the sorcerer Zota and narrowly escaping a timeless trap—guided only by the faint glow of his amulet. The cover by Bill Fraccio and Tony Tallarico captures the eerie, otherworldly tone of this 1972 gem, a 60-cent comic that remains a standout in the series.
In a spellbound moment on the streets of modern New York, Dr. Strange encounters a mysterious woman lost in time—only to discover she is none other than Cleopatra, exiled from Ancient Egypt by the sorcerer Zota. With the help of his mentor, The Ancient One, Strange journeys into the past to undo the enchantment, facing Zota’s dark magic and a race against a flickering candle that could trap him forever. When the flame nearly dies, he uses the light of his amulet to find his way back—just in time to send Cleopatra home.
