American Update: The many faces of Strange Tales
*Marvel: Strange Tales is a venerable Golden Age/Silver Age Marvel title that went through many changes of focus in its lifetime. This update, we concentrate on the swinging 60’s and the sensational 70’s. First up, we have issues from the Human Torch and Dr. Strange (by Ditko) period. We then move on to a very fondly remembered period when the good doctor shared the title with Nicky Fury, Agent Of Shield, and in particular the work of Jim Steranko, whose debut on that strip is featured in this update. We close out with the short run of issues from #178-181 featuring Jim Starlin’s Warlock, including the key issue #180 (FN/VF p £35), with the first appearance of that doyenne of the Guardians Of The Galaxy Gamorra.
