Pérez provided this statement to the Comic World about his decision. I make no comment on his actions at this time. I think the statement speaks for itself: “Just as a confirmation and clarification, since I have been flooded with requests for…

Doctor Strange Movie Review

Walt

In 1963 Strange Tales #110 introduced a character in Marvel Comics called Doctor Strange. Created and drawn by Steve Ditko the cover of Strange Tales #110 proclaimed him as Dr. Strange Master of Black Magic.

There were mystical threats and magical characters that needed…
