*Marvel: Although I collected this period of Strange Tales primarily for the little Dr Strange masterpieces by Lee and Ditko that appeared as back-ups, there’s no denying the significance to the Marvel Universe of the Human Torch lead stories. They gave us an insight into the private lives of the Torch and his partners (who frequently appeared) and introduced some key villains such as the Wizard and the Plant Man (who both appear here – okay, so maybe the Plant Man wasn’t all that). By the time of the issues featured in this update, Dr Strange had at least fought his way on to the covers of most issues.
