American Update: The Doctor Is In! Complete Doctor Strange 2nd Series in high grades!
*Marvel: Marvel’s Master of the Mystic Arts, Dr. Strange, suffered a bit of a lull in the late Sixties following the failure of his first series, but came back in fine form, first with a successful ‘showcase’ run in Marvel Premiere, then from 1974, his revived ongoing title. We are pleased to have the entire 81-issue second series of Dr. Strange in stock, many of them non-distributed in the UK and therefore highly sought after. The roster of creators on this series is stellar, with, at various times, Frank Brunner, Steve Englehart, Tom Sutton, Steve Leialoha, Marshall Rogers, Roger Stern, Paul Smith, Mike Golden and of course Gene Colan doing exceptional work. Most of these issues are in exceptional grade – the earliest are respectable, but the condition rapidly escalates to an average of VF/NM, with many NM (a grade we only cautiously allot to comics of this vintage) among their number. We round off the complete run with the one-shot Giant-Size issue, and the first series Annual, a thing of beauty illustrated by P. Craig Russell, illustrated here. As always, full grade and price details are available in the Marvel section of our online catalogue. Despite their remarkable condition, many of these vintage items still work out cheaper than modern comics – and, on average, are much better!
