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) has become a valuable collectible as the first appearance of the Sorcerer Supreme. There's also the first appearance of the Ancient One, Nightmare, and Wong in the back-up story hidden behind the Human Torch taking over Jack Kirby's cover art.
To be fair, the Torch's story also has the first pairing of the Wizard and Paste-Pot Pete. Collectors are still hunting down this classic comic for introducing Earth's sole defender from magical and mystical threats. With the continuing success of Benedict Cumberbatch as the big-screen Doctor Strange, this book is sure to reach new heights in popularity!
