The origins of Dr. Strange, the stories where the character first appeared in Strange Tales by Marvel circa 1963 written by Stan Lee and drawn by Steve Ditko, legends in the industry. As dated as this is at times, I can still look back and appreciate it, knowing that if I had read these as a child/teen/adult in that time I would've loved them as much as I love the more modern takes on the character now. It's impressive to see how imaginative Marvel was back then, not just the characters, the stories, but the artwork and world-building of the time. I'm also a big Dr. Strange fan and it's nice seeing the origins of so many Easter eggs I still see from time to time mentioned in modern runs and the film adaptations.
