It's funny how Strange's cover caption here gives something of a different impression of him (perhaps for sales reasons) than you might find in the character himself. For instance, I could never imagine Strange declaring something like "Let magic reign!", given the low profile he seeks for both himself and the mystic forces he guards against. Nor can I see him wanting the Earth to become like Dormammu's dimension. :)
These old Marvel Premiere issues were probably my first substantive exposure to Strange--though I didn't become a fan of the character until Frank Brunner segued into doing the regular art, and Englehart came aboard. The whole Shuma Gorath story just blew me away.
The fact that this was technically a "first issue" probably determined the cover's broader theme and over-emphasis of the character. Absolutely agree with you about the underlying marketing intent though. Good observation.
