*Marvel: The first Doctor Strange story in Strange Tales #110 might well have served as a stand-alone mystery tale – after all, Marvel had already tried the supernatural adventurer route with Dr. Droom, and flopped hard! – but with issue #111, it became clear the good doctor was in it for the long haul, as his second appearance saw the debut of Baron Mordo, thwarted pupil of the Ancient One and destined to become one of Strange’s greatest enemies! (And Johnny Storm fought the Asbestos Man in the front of the book, for the handful of folks who were bothered.) This VG+ pence copy is generally in excellent condition, and would easily grade FN or better but for slight ‘Marvel chipping’ at the cover’s upper right edge.
