Doctor Strange: A Separate Reality

Some Doctor Strange at last! I've been reading comics for around 35 years and I don't think I've ever read a story JUST featuring Doc Strange.

This collection reprinting Englehart's and Brunner's 9 issue run is supposed to be one of the best. I bought it a few years ago and just this week I got the urge/ inspiration to read it. I guess it was brought on when I spotted the Marvel Masterworks reprinting the same issues. I would prefer to have the Masterworks reprint not only because it fits on my shelves better but the covers are reproduced at the start of each chapter.

The story finishes with Doc Strange (Vol. 2) issue 5, which I've actually had the original of for a fair number of years  (I am patient when it comes to reading my back-issues). I absolutely love this cover!

Anyway, considering this was a 1970s comic, focusing on magic etc. it was a good read. Brunner's art was stonking though. No doubt about it.

Now I've read it, I can bide my time for the softcover Masterworks which I calculate will come out some time around Nov 2019!!
