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!
