Doctor Strange created by Steve Ditko

“Sorcery Supreme of the Galaxy” Part One

Doctor Strange is a Marvel Comics magical superhero character.  Doctor Strange first appeared in Strange Tales #110 (cover dated:  July 1963) and was created by writer-artist Steve Ditko, although Marvel Comics also recognizes writer Stan Lee as the character's co-creator.

Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange is a brilliant, but egotistical neurosurgeon who only cares about using his career and talents to become wealthy.  A car accident severely damages his hands, ending his ability to perform surgery.  His pride causes him to lose everything, but his encounter with the Ancient One changes him.  Doctor Strange becomes the “Sorcerer Supreme,” the “Master of the Mystic Arts,” who is the primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats from wherever they may come.

Marvel Comics recently launched a new Doctor Strange comic book with a shockingly new direction.  This new title is written by Mark Waid; drawn and colored by Jesús Saiz; and lettered by Cory Petit.

Doctor Strange #1 opens with the good Doctor... Strange wrapping up some mystical ass-kicking.  Now, he is ready to return to his “Sanctum Santorum” in Greenwich Village, New York City and resume his role as the most powerful and lead defender against all occult and arcane threats to our realm.  Seven years later, Stephen Strange begins to lose his ability to see the reality behind the obvious, which humans cannot see.  Soon, Doctor Strange is a mystic physician no longer in touch with the magical and the mystical.

He reaches out for help, but no one can help him.  Then, Tony Stark suggests that Strange leave the Earth and travel the stars to get his mystical groove back.

First, I have to say that Jesús Saiz's art and coloring are absolutely beautiful.  I don't know if Saiz digitally paints his art, but so far, this iteration of Doctor Strange is one of the best looking comic books with painted art that I have ever read.  The prettiness of the art does not distract from the storytelling, which is surprisingly fraught with emotion.

Yeah, when writer Mark Waid is good, he is fantastic, although when he is bad, it is painfully mediocre.  Ain't no mediocrity here, as Waid starts one of the most improbably Doctor Strange story lines ever.  That is something to say considering that we have had over five decades of glorious Doctor Strange weirdness to enjoy.

Yes, via Cory Petit's stylish and evocative lettering, we have a good strange Strange to read.  I recommend that we stay with it, or, if you have not started, get on board this intergalactic bus.
