Okay, it took me a little while, but as promised, here it is. This is a full fun of the Doctor Strange series in Strange Tales, plus his solo series run that followed: Strange Tales #110, 111, 114-168 and Doctor Strange #169-183.

I am selling this to raise money to make new comics! So your money will go to a good home, and I hope to find a good home for these comics.

The keys in this run are mostly low grade, especially the big ones at the start, which are all very rough. I have priced everything accordingly.

The price for the entire run is ~~$2650~~ $2250 shipped to the U.S.

Payment via check please.

Notes and grades on the key issues:

110 - 1.5 - 1st Doctor Strange, 1st Nightmare

I have this at a 1.5, though an argument could be made for 1.8. Main issues are extensive tanning -- you can see in the photos there is a spot of brittleness at the bottom of the spine that has resulted in some chipping away. Otherwise the pages seem relatively supple, if tan.

There is a long tear front cover from middle bottom up about 3 inches. The bottom inch of this tear also runs through the first seven or eight pages. There are a couple other, smaller tears on the fc and bc as well.

Despite all that, both staples are firmly attached!

Low grade, well loved, an affordable classic key!

111 - 1.5 - 1st Baron Mordo

I also have this at a 1.5. The spine is split from the bottom to the bottom staple. There's a chuck out of the fc on the right edge. There's also a pair of extra staples added. Weirdly, there are two totally unrelated date stamps on this book - the one on the front is May 8, which I think is correct. The one on the back, Sept 12 1964, doesn't make a lick of sense. Best guess is it was at a second hand distributor at that time?

114 - 2.0 - 1st Silver Age Captain America

This one has a lot of tanning and rough edges, and a spine split at top. But the staples are still somehow firmly attached.

115 - 3.0 - Origin Doctor Strange

123 - 3.5 - 1st Beetle

126 - 3.5 - 1st Clea, 1st Dormammu

135 - 2.5 - 1st SHIELD

138 - 4.0 - 1st Eternity

150 - 5.0 - 1st Umar

158 - 5.5 - 1st full Living Tribunal

159 - 5.0 - 1st Contessa Val Fontaine

This is signed "to Scott" on the front cover by Jim Steranko

167 - 8.0

This is a really nice copy. Slight rubbing and blunting top spine, and a slight corner crunch bottom spine. Main issue is light tanning on cover from original white. if it was still white it would be close to a 9.0. Awesome cover!

169 - 5.5

No particular note other than that I love this book.
