https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13589101-the-law-of-superheroes This is a fantastic book that actually tries to apply real-world case law and legal theory to superheroes. Everything from the constitutionality of Superman using x-ray vision on your house to would it be 'cruel and unusual' to try to execute Wolverine not knowing if it would actually work or not.

I assume he inherited the Greenwich Village house and a lot of other stuff from the Ancient One, but estate taxes in America ate a joke. In the 80's series he got a business manager because his finances were a mess.

 And I think Dr. Strange tried to make money once and it almost led to the end of the world?

Oh god, was that the "little old woman who swallowed a fly" storyline that goes for like 8 issues? (Strange Tales was an anthology series with a Nick Fury story and a Dr. Strange story and maybe a third one? every issue, so it's not as drawn out as it sounds.

Brazilianpeanutwar posted:“Please take a seat Dr str-“ muscles like this! posted:There's an old panel posted somewhere in this thread of Dr Strange just conjuring money up through magic. also: "Dr. Strange, with his surgical career over and too vain to accept positions as a consultant or assistant, soon exhausted his fortune following every rumored treatment, no matter how ineffective. In a matter of months, the once wealthy surgeon became a derelict, and resorted to performing a number of shady medical procedures to survive (and pay his growing bar tabs). Strange's guilt over the mistakes of his early life would come to weigh heavily upon him over the years, and his recollections of the time could not always be trusted." weird how they left that out of the movie

They must keep a Green Lantern-like cosmic horror around for times like these. Phenomenal power, but he's defeated by, like, the sound of children's laughter or Hostess Fruit Pies.

I love that arc. Steve Ditko can suck an egg, Marie Severin is my definitive Doctor Strange artist for sure, nobody else has approached that beautifully austere, delirious quality she brought to those issues. Like a four-color Leonora Carrington, I love it.

Like a four-color Leonora Carrington, I love it. Not a hot take, but the truth. Ditko was great; but tell me you don’t look at those panels and say “THAT - that is what I think of when I think of Dr Strange”. Equally “hot” - she’s probably at worst the 3rd greatest Hulk artist after Sal Buscema and Herb Trimpe, and maybe even ahead of Trimpe.

The funny thing is that Dr. Strange's money problems had been an ongoing subplot in the previous issues, but I guess the writers just didn't know where to go with it.
