Hey, how did you get that "Earth-Prime" version of Strange Tales 110?

I hope you didnt make a deal with the Dreaded Dormammu!

I designed and printed custom covers for the entire Steve Ditko Dr. Strange run on Strange Tales and attached them to coverless/Fair/Good- copies of the actual books!

Howard....I have to tell you again.....those alternate Strange Tale covers you designed are simply awesome. In some better alternate universe....those were the actual covers printed. Bravo!

I'll second that, and also give a shout out to Ditko, whose work on Dr. Strange is underappreciated. Just looking at those alternate covers, Ditko's unparalleled imagination and pop art sensibility really come through.

 

Wouldn't it be great if Marvel would start an inexpensive line of single issue monthly reprints of early Silver Age series with "new" covers gleaned from the original artwork?

Thanks guys! I had a lot of fun making them!

They could take over where the giveaway Spider-Man books left off. Doctor Strange with custom covers delivered with your Sunday paper!

I echo the boy's praise Howard... being a true fan of ST I have to say what you've done is jaw-dropping incredible work

Finally got my ST #97 today! This is perhaps one of my all-time favorite covers. It just looks so ominous and carries of the weight of dread so well.

 

 

Oh yeah, and I got a beater of #31...

Here's my latest entry, Dr. Strange's first cover appearance.

Another White page beauty ! Congrats !

 

BTW have you people seen the price realised for the ST 107 CGC 8.5 OWW on eBay last night ? $670 !

 

Not as high as Burntboy's former book but a solid price indeed !

It was quite a chase and well worth it. On to the next one...

 

Here they are in all their glory!

 

 

Love those group shots!! Way to go

Nice sweet pickups

 

I have a couple of HH books myself, and they are white as white copies. Other books look positively....their age! next to them.
