Art by Frank Brunner, Alfredo Alcala and various
Cover by Frank Brunner

When Doctor Strange’s first solo series ended, there was little doubt that the Master of the Mystic Arts would soon return. That moment arrived in Marvel Premiere where hot new art talents illustrated tales tinged with Lovecraftian horror. Then, writer Steve Englehart and artist Frank Brunner brought Doctor Strange to new heights of cosmic consciousness and other-dimensional adventure. Brunner’s mixed a deliriously lush line with psychedelic stylings, while Englehart’s scripting plumbed the depths of Strange’s soul. The series goes from strength to strength when artist Gene Colan returns and the entity Eternity declares that the end times are here. Next comes a Doc Strange vs. Dracula crossover and a time-travelling Occult History of America.
