What actually happens is even stupider.


His girlfriend gets kidnapped by Dormammu's sister Umar.
To defeat Umar he releases Zom, destruction incarnate.
Umar sees this then runs away. Zom decides to pulverize Earth instead.
The Ancient One, Strange's master gets himself killed and gives a cryptic clue 'Give Zom a haircut'
Strange does this, and apparently PURE EVIL MAGIC is contained in the hair.
Because he released evil magic into the world, the Living Tribunal shows up and says 'Welp, gonna blow up Earth, its the only way to clean up this mess.'
Strange convinces him not to if he can clean up the mess himself. He does this by finding Baron Mordo and concentrating all the evil in him instead.
This gives Mordo super evil powers and banishes Strange to another dimension.
Also The Living Tribunal left a giant hourglass at Stonehenge so they know how much time they have.


They're part of the SHIELD collection since they were originally printed in a double feature, STRANGE TALES. The Dr Strange stories are so bad. I'm up to the point where there's a change in writers and artists though and its improved remarkably.

You shut your god damned mouth, early Dr.Strange is a loving treasure, it's weird as hell comics written by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the only thing that compares is Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

I imagine the comic would have him being impressed by the creamsicle, possibly as part of a "hostess fruit cake" scenario, but it's way funnier if you read it as him being totally dissapointed and sarcastic about it.

If you're willing to accept other superhero universes, Detroit's the big central city in Champions. Granted, it did get there by getting royally hosed up back in the seventies and needing a herculean revlbuilding effort.

The visuals are great but the writing is dire. Panel #1 is Dr Strange going Oh no gently caress a thing that will utterly destroy me. #2 "By the mystic rings of raggador or whatever, let there be no dramatic tension"

Also he's always yelling at Wong. :(

He is being totally disappointed and sarcastic about it. That panel's from the start of an old Marvel Graphic Novel that begins with Thor feeling intensely depressed and borderline contemptuous of mortal society.
