American Comics Update: The Good Doctor Collection: Strange Tales #136-140 with SHIELD vs Hydra and Mighty Marvel Firsts: Eternity
*Marvel: From the Good Doctor Collection this week: following the debut of Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD in #135, Strange Tales was a brilliant title, with the super-spy scientific secret agent trope of SHIELD contrasting with the mystic arts of Dr Strange for a real go-go psychedelic extravaganza. Issues #136-140 concluded the first encounter with Hydra begun in #135, while Dr Strange faced the threat of Dormammu in Ditko’s last great epic for his co-creation. And in #138, Marvel’s own Good Doctor encountered Eternity for the first time, possibly Ditko’s most visually wondrous character.
