Strange Tales #115 - Jack Kirby / Steve Ditko cover, Ditko art + 1st Doctor Strange origin

Jack Kirby / Steve Ditko

Strange Tales v1 #115, 1963 - Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko collaborations are typically better than the sum of their parts, but in this case their cover is largely mediocre. Ditko fares better on his solo story, presenting Dr. Strange's origin for the first time in this issue. Despite the repetitive nine-panel grid, the artist does an admirable job depicting the hero's beginnings. The artwork is clear and concise in its storytelling. This tale was later reprinted in Marvel Premiere #11. Other artists in this silver age comic include Don Heck.
