Strange Tales #110 Review by (May 12, 2017)
Review: Doctor Strange is one of the most iconic Marvel characters. This short story is his humble debut. While his appearance by artist Steve Ditko is by no means outstanding, writer Stan Lee lays down the foundation of this character flawlessly, introducing key aspects that define Doctor Strange to this day: The Eye of Agamotto amulet, the Greenwich Village mansion, Wong the servant, the Ancient One master, and the mystic form.

His last name derives from the magazine’s name, Strange Tales, which now has its own doctor. And an odd one he is.

This first story does not explain readers how Strange got his powers. Instead, readers are bluntly introduced to this powerful man, who they learn, will someday replace the Ancient One, an old Asian monk, his master, in “fighting the forces of darkness and evil.” It also gives form to bad dreams using an entity simply called Nightmare.

The stage is set for a myriad of stories related to the supernatural to follow. And the reader is now most likely, hooked.

Doctor Strange Story, Additional Characters: Wong.

Human Torch Story, Additional Characters: Reed Richards, the Thing and Invisible Woman, they appear in one panel. Reed calls Johnny to offer their help, but the teenager doesn’t accept it since he wants to resolve his own problems by himself.
