Strange Tales #110 - Jack Kirby cover, Steve Ditko art + 1st Doctor Strange

Jack Kirby

Strange Tales v1 #110, 1963 - Plagued by nightmares every night, a man seeks help from a well-known mystic named Doctor Strange. In the character's first appearance, the story reveals a few of his magical abilities and introduces his mentor Ancient One. Tasked with the artwork, Steve Ditko creates one of Marvel's more exotic heroes. The story is brief and the panels numerous, but the artist does a credible job given the limitations. Ditko would soon expand his graphic vocabulary, depicting strange new worlds, dimensions and characters. This story was later reprinted in Origins of Marvel Comics. Less significant is Jack Kirby's rather mediocre Human Torch cover. This is 46 of 82 Strange Tales issues by Ditko and 43 of 74 Strange Tales issues by Kirby. /// key 1st appearance Stephen Strange as Doctor Strange
