Doctor Strange: A Decade of Dark Magic

Doctor Strange, one of Marvel's most fascinating early characters, began at the hands of co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and his ethereal voyages through other dimensions made him an important figure in 1960s culture. From his first appearance in 1963, Strange captivated a wide range of readers. Over his first ten years, a succession of writers and artists including Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, Gardner F. Fox, P. Craig Russell, Marie Severin, and notably Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner expanded on Ditko's original mind-bending concepts. This entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS explores Strange's changing roles as a mystic, super hero, and leader of a chaotic team called the Defenders, and the rise of his popularity, in parallel with the counterculture of the 1960s.

Ideal for readers interested in literature & poetry.
