Explore the Stories Behind the Legends Enter a world where reality bends and magic reigns
supreme. From psychedelic dimensions to counterculture cool Doctor Strange was unlike
anything else in comics. One of Marvel's most fascinating early characters he began at the
hands of co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and his ethereal voyages through other
dimensions made him an iconic figure in 1960s culture. From his first appearance in 1963
Strange captivated a wide range of readers. Over his first ten years a succession of writers
and artists-including Roy Thomas Gene Colan Gardner F. Fox P. Craig Russell Marie Severin
and notably Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner-expanded on Ditko's original mind-bending
concepts. This entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS explores Strange's changing roles as a mystic
super hero and leader of a chaotic team called the Defenders and the rise of his popularity
in parallel with the counterculture of the 1960s. Beautifully illustrated with full-color and
mind-bending artwork this is a must-have for fans of Marvel's early era pop culture history
and the stories that shaped a generation.
