Marvel Graphic Novel: Doctor Strange: Shamballa

In 1986, Marvel released this prestige-format graphic novel that pairs writer J. M. DeMatteis with artist Dan Green for a singular, self-contained Doctor Strange story. The tale explores the mystical consequences of the Sorcerer Supreme seeking a higher state of enlightenment, with Green's intricate linework lending a lush, otherworldly quality to the journey. As part of Marvel's early graphic novel line, Shamballa stands out for its contemplative, philosophical tone, offering a mature and visually rich meditation on power and spiritual ambition.
