Next we have a wonderful commission by Mr. Monster creator and Alter Ego Magazine columnist Michael Gilbert, putting Dr. Strange in the cover for Worlds of Fear #10...

TheWatcher, those are some fantastic Ditko books ya got there!

Love that Racket Squad bomb cover!

I've had a busy week with some nice additions to my Dr. Strange collection.

First: A Doc custom JLA figure...

This just arrived a few minutes ago via UPS. I'm so giddy right now!

 

This one is from Australia. Cover is kind of minimal, but it reprints the first Dr. Strange story from Strange Tales #110, which is nice...

 

That is an awesome book. For sale perhaps?

 

Are you kidding? You're asking one of the world's foremost Dr. Strange collectors if he'll part with a hard to find item?

 

And if I don't ask? Would $200 do the trick?

$200?!? For reals??

If so, SOLD!

PM me if serious. If not, no biggie.

...and you gotta love the back cover!

This one is from Australia. Cover is kind of minimal, but it reprints the first Dr. Strange story from Strange Tales #110, which is nice...

Some nice Dr. Strange comics from south of the border:

Not as nice as Doug's 9.8, but every time I see a midgrade copy of this one for cheap I'm compelled to buy it. First Clea and Dormammu appearances...

My friend Ben brought this one back for me from Argentina:

In my search for 30 cent variants I came across this beauty for $2.

 

Is that a double cover 30 cent variant?

If it had one of those Mark Jeweler's ads in there as well that comic would make a Marvel variant hunter's head explode!

wdb23 - Neat book! Never seen that before. How'd you find it?

Daily eBay searches for "dr strange" and "doctor strange"! I'm expecting a great book... one of my grails... in the mail in the next few days. Not Dr. Strange related, but one of my all time favorite covers EVER. Stay tuned!

Awesome Fred Hembeck re-creation and a great Ditko homage:

This is a neat little curio from Britain. No date, but must have been around 1980 from all the Empire Strikes Back ads. Love that "Occult" is in the title:

These came in yesterday:

 

 

 

Fantastic Ditko stuff! That Thing! issue is a classic!

Leonard really outdid himself on this one. You would think these books would be unobtainable price-wise, but I guess a lot of collectors just can't look past the superhero genre. I can't think of any other reason. Oh well, their loss my gain.

 

 

Beautiful copy. Congratulations on grabbing one of the greatest classic horror covers ever made.

Not a bad storyline on this one either.

What are the stories like? Does Captain America act like the Crypt Keeper as a narrator? Is the Red Skull featured in any of the weird tales or is he just on the cover?

by the way

Finally got a copy of the comic book with my all time favorite cover EVER. Never found one under $700 until I saw Metropolis had one available for somewhere in my price range last week. The cover is looser than a Tijuana prostitute, but it's all mine! (Sorry about the last metaphor there. I just got finished watching the William Shatner Roast on Comedy Central and think the comedians rubbed off on me)

Not a comic, but related: Doctor Strange "Crystal Variant" Chase Figure, from the Corinthian Marvel Micro series. British only release, so the chase figures are especially hard to come by:
