American Comics Update: The Good Doctor Collection: Dr. Strange (1st series) #173-175
*Marvel: I’m a big fan of the short first series of Doctor Strange which commenced in #169 (continuing the numbering from Strange Tales) and ended with #183. Initial artwork by Dan Adkins before Gene Colan took over to produce what I consider to be the best art of his illustrious career. Three high grade Good Doctor Colan examples this update: #173 concludes an encounter with arch-foe Dormammu, #174/175 have the debut of the Sons of Satannish, the latter also featuring the first cover appearance of Clea.
