Owner's Description
The 1st Appearance of Evil Dr Strange.
The Watcher tells us that there are other worlds in the multiverse including those where Steven Strange had not followed the path of The Ancient One for the side of good. We are reminded that subtle alternate choices can have large ripple effects. Here we see battles with Dormammu, Eternity and the Ancient One...
Cover pencils by Bob Budiansky (?) and Keith Pollard (?), inks by Pablo Marcos. "What If Dr. Strange Had Been a Disciple of Dormammu?", script by Peter Gillis, pencils by Tom Sutton (breakdowns) and Bruce Patterson, inks by Bruce Patterson; Uatu the Watcher reminds the reader that events can always take a different path: that a distinction as apparently obvious as good and evil may be very slight indeed; Doctor Strange, as established in the main universe, was an arrogant surgeon who cared more for his patients' money than their health; When his ability to operate was robbed from him due to injuries in a car accident, he sought out the Ancient One, who refused to hand him the easy cure he was hoping for; Instead, he let Strange stay at the retreat and witness Baron Mordo's treachery, thus realizing that greater forces were in the world than his own selfish ambitions, and setting his foot on the path that would lead him to becoming Master of the Mystic Arts. "Spider-Man Meets June Jitsui!" ad for Hostess snack cakes. 52 pgs. Cover price $0.75. (description by mycomicshop.com)
