I sorely miss classical Dr. Strange. I understand why he can’t exist anymore, but I still miss him. Very badly.Going to dump a few more Mignola sketches of him here just because I want people to see them. I think they’re very cool.
>>151643897(and a colored version, though I’m unsure of whether this was done by Mignola or a fan.)
This is all I have, and i don’t know if there are more. I’m not a huge Mignola fan, but I think his heavy emphasis on shadows works really well with a character like Strange. If you want to see more Mignola on Strange, read Doctor Doom & Doctor Strange: Triumph and Torment. If you want some good Strange books in general, check out Strange Tales 110-147, Marvel Premiere #3-14, and all of Doctor Strange: Master of the Mystic Arts. Also 1972’s Defenders if you’re willing to accept him jobbing a lot as part of a team.
>>151643933Pic rel for specifics on good Strange runs, this is ass old but still holds up very well. Very little of worth with the character has been published past the creation of this image, unfortunately.
okay bro
I'm saving all of these
>>151645025same
Okay whats wrong with current Strange?
>>151645656NTA but let me try.>multiple bad runs in a row (Bendis, Aaron, Cates) have fucked his characterization to the point that he is now part Tony Stark and acts decades younger than he looks>power set has been horribly nerfed for a long while now>magic in general seems to have been sterilized into MCU sigils near-exclusively, greatly hurting the visual variety that used to dominate older comics>stuck with a talking dog and a Hogwarts rip-off for years while his wife was made into a snarky girlboss>currently exiled to Asgard to fight Not!Knull alongside everybody’s favorite AngelaJust my take. OP’s might be different.
>>151645976>I don’t like certain runs so this means the characterisation is now somehow ruined >muh power levels>hates Bats and Clea>whines about Strange Academy even though they never show up in Strange’s own book and you can freely just ignore SA if you don’t like it>more inane complaints because current book is having Stephen do something different and more mythical while Dr. Doom’s tenure as Sorcerer Supreme was taking placeTypical not muh fanboy bitching
>>151643879Always interesting to see artists' early work , just to see where they come from. Here you can notice how Mignola, Kelley Jones and P. Craig Russell were in the same clique.
>>151643878>I understand why he can’t exist anymore Why's that?
