I've heard Ben Franklyn was married in the US, in Philly but he frequently traveled to France for the ladies, he may have even had syphilis, so to go even farther, Ben Franklyn most likely gave Dr. Strange syphilis. Also, Lotta people don't know this but he made his son fly that kite in a thunderstorm, he wasn't holding that thing! Lool!
This was the only Doctor Strange comic book I had in the late 1970s when I was very young. It was very difficult finding comic books in Sri Lanka in the 1970s/1980s, but my mother somehow managed to find this book and my father read it to me. I loved this story and Doctor Strange especially because of the supernatural elements of it. I have since bought it as part of the Essential series of Doctor Strange compilations of comic books.
I know this is super wierd and specific but I love stories about people who loved comics but didn't have them very available as a kid, because you can tell how much they treasured the ones they did have 😊
If you read the very next issue, it is discovered that the affair between Clea and Franklin was only an illusion created by the rival sorcerer. The exact words of Strange are: "Whatever I thought had gone on between Franklin and Clea was simply a shadow play for my mind only". The scenes in issue 18 make perfect sense in context.
@@ComicTropes I don’t know why you’re surprised that a fat bald guy could get the ladies. Biggie Smalls, Orson Welles, Luciano Pavarotti. There have been a number of larger-than-life Lotharios throughout history.
I love Ditko’s run. I think it’s something very different than anything Marvel was doing at the time. I know you get plenty of recommendations, but I would love you to look into Hickman’s run on New Avengers (incursion storyline) or his Fantastic Four run. I missed both of these when they were released. When I went back and found them they were a revelation. I love the way Hickman handles Marvel’s history. It’s very important to his books. These two runs are two of my favorite runs in a modern, mainstream book hands down.
I love all of Steve Englehart's work, but the best Doctor Strange run post-Ditko was Roger Stern's run between issues # 47 and #75. Back then it was a bimonthly title wich was ideal for slow and/or meticulous artists. So Stern's run was not only well written, but got illustrated by some of the best artists available at the time. His run started with Marshall Rogers inked by Terry Austin! Then, there was another series of issues by the team of Dan Green (also with beautiful inks by Austin). And the run closed with Paul Smith on art! Between artists changes there were single issues with amazing guest artists like Michael Golden, Kevin Knowlan, Steve Leialoha (who should have drawn more Doctor Strange, his style was well -suited for this), and one of my favorite Doctor Strange story, an issue written and drawn by Carl Potts.
I would love a good video on this period. I am reading it! Marshall Roger's made such inspired mystic art ! His storytelling was a mind- blowing model for interpreting complex and surreal scenarios! I am up to #60 - which was one of the few I got years ago. I love Stern. Dan Green drew lovely expressions in #58. This run is In a top 5 with ASM and Thor. I love this mid 70s run, too. Wish we got to see it all! Deep interest in creatively using occult history.
He doesn't say that they're dressed appropriately. He says that they "appear" to be dressed appropriately (to the people in the past). Apparently it's something the time travel spell does.
@@ComicTropes He was referring to the original location of the store across the street from the Empire State Building, which is one block over from Koreatown (31st & 32nd between Broadway & 5th). JHU was my go-to store for years before they moved again (from the location in your video) further to the east side of Manhattan. I still love those guys, but can't make it out there from the suburbs anymore. Dan Slott is a big supporter of the store. Thanks for including it in your video!
Ahh the Marvel Treasury Editions. I grew up in the 70's and I loved those things. I remember my mother saying "What a $1.50 for a funny book." Haha those were good times.
Doctor Strange vol. 2 #34 was the first issue of his comic that I bought. It was just a fill-in issue written by Ralph Macchio, but the artwork by Tom Sutton and P. Craig Russell is wonderful. I also second What Is It That Disturbs You, Stephen, which is another P. Craig Russell tour de force.
I don't know what it is, but science fiction comic books were common, and cheap in my area when you went to old book stores, and other places. I could never understand why they weren't being written anymore, and why anyone would read super hero comic books.Then bam, all the comic books vanished. I'm assuming the collectors bought them up. I wish I had kept the one I had.
Actually though it's a good and attractive tagline it is false here are a couple things: 1. The Comment of Dr. Strange clothes is a reference to previous issue where he cast a Spell that what ever time he'll have clothes that is from that time. That is why later the clothes is different, it only looks different. 2. Sty like St-eye and Gyro like Gyroscopes so St-eye-G-eye-row 3. You said that the disappearance was never explained but it is explained in Issue 19 that it was all an illusion by Stygyro who was actually the Ancient One. 4. Clea and Franklin never actually been in any kind of relationship. Once Strange comes out of the boat and sees that everyone is missing that is when the Ancient One's test begins and everything after is a fake. Clea and Ben went about their way and history proceeded as naturally then once Strange was done he popped back in history to meet with the real Ben and Clea.
12:12 BF was a total lady's man in reality. There's these trips to Europe you could look up, wher he'd charm them out of their corsets and raise $ for the revolution. then there's this hellfire club stuff, total player.
The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao movie the hydra one of it's faces became face of Dr. Lao. Comics often copied others ideas. Stygro could have created illusion in more than one place to appear to be more than one place at a time. Loki, the Miracle Man, Master Mind and some other characters created illusions.
The part about Dr strange's girlfriend complaining that he doesn't pay enough attention to her even though he clearly does just shows that Steve Engelhardt was good at writing women.
Did you know that the symbol that you make with the deddos is a praise to the devil and to all his followers ??? ... Now I understand why so much criticism against Jack Chick God's servant ... when the Light appears, your shadows are obscured !!! Is immersed in the deepest spiritual and intellectual darkness ... only the truth of Jesus Christ, can make you truly free, dear, friend !!!
