ow pages; Stan Lee signature on holder
1st appearance Dr. Strange; 1st app. of 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)
Strange Tales #110 presented the first appearance of
Doctor Strange. The future Marvel star didn't make the cover, but this classic issue (with a notoriously low print run) would become a beloved Silver Age collectible as the debut of the Sorcerer Supreme. There's also first appearances 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!
_________________________________________________
The release of “Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” has given this book a renewed head of steam, kicking it up a few rungs in value and desirability once again thanks to the MCU. It's unfortunate that the Sorcerer Supreme is not featured on this cover, as this copy is in exceptional condition, the fiery hues on the Human Torch are extremely bright and saturated, and this book hits all of the marks for condition and preservation one would expect at grade, and the Stan Lee signature on the CGC holder is the icing on the cake. This should be a real barn burner come auction time. A Strange Tales #110 9.2 Stan Lee signature series copy sold for $34,000 in October 2018.
Overstreet Guide 2023 NM- (9.2) value = $31,000.
