Once upon a time in 2006, Stan Lee met Doctor Strange, and Alan Davis was there to capture it in his artwork. His stunning splash page is shown above. I know I keep saying this when I display a page of artwork I really like--but this is so good it could work as a poster!
Here's the image as it was displayed in the actual comic with full color. No offense to the colorists, but I really think this looks better in the original black and white. Nuff said!
While thinking about the great Special Editions of the 1980s, I came across these pinups from Doctor Strange Classics #1, from 1983.
John Jay Muth (Moonshadow) contributed this wild (almost pre raphaelite) painting of Doc trying to save some poor woman. If that's the Wand of Watoomb, I've never seen it look so impressive!
Kevin Nowlan's piece shows Stephen Strange in a quiet, contemplative mood as the ghost of Clea lurks in his memory. Clea left Doc in issue #53, circa 1982. You can imagine Doc/Clea fans (would Lost-style fans have called it Clok?) felt a little less cheery seeing this. Thanks for scratching at open wounds, Kevin Nowlan!
Carl Potts also delivered this terrific Ditko inspired drawing of Doc with the Orb of Agamotto. Nuff said.
