1st app. Dr. Strange, Ancient One, Nightmare and Wong; Jack Kirby cover; 1st Paste-Pot Pete and Wizard team-up (7/63) Comic Book Impact rating of 9 (CBI)


Doctor Strange didn't make the cover, but this issue of Strange Tales (with a notoriously low print run) features the first appearance of the Sorcerer Supreme. There's also debuts from the Ancient One, Nightmare, and Wong in the back-up story hidden behind Jack Kirby's cover art celebrating the Human Torch.

To be fair, the Torch's tale offers the first pairing of the Wizard and Paste-Pot Pete. Collectors are still after this classic comic for the introduction of Earth's top defender from mystical threats. And with the continuing success of Benedict Cumberbatch as the big-screen Doctor Strange, this book is sure to reach new heights in popularity!

Investors will also note that this copy of the classic issue has headed into its 60th year with the vibrant '60s colors intact, and continues to present beautifully.

Overstreet Guide 2023 VF+ (8.5) value = $16,300.00.
