    Doctor Strange

    Character » Doctor Strange appears in 4904 issues.

    Dr. Stephen Strange was once a gifted but egotistical surgeon who sought out the Ancient One to heal his hands after they were wounded in a car accident. Instead, the Ancient One trained him to become Master of the Mystic Arts and the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth.

    Who was/is the best Doctor Strange author of All-Time (and why)?

    I would be interested in taking the temperature of this forum (the closest thing to certified Dr. Strange aficionados on the planet, right(?)).

    I won't do a poll because I don't want to leave anyone out...and if the MCU version is your favorite, say that one!

    Best, ___Mark (The O.G.eek!)

    Steve Englehart and Roy Thomas, easily.

    They're responsible for creating some of the most important characters, stories and mythos in Strange's lore aside from Stan/Ditko. I still rank the Shuma-Gorath storyline as one of the best arcs ever, even these days.

    Knew I could count on you to post my opinion, pretty much word for word. :)

    Roger Stern?

    He's up there as well, yes. The problem with him is that while Stern wrote some stellar comics about Strange, he was also responsible for a few stinky piles of garbage like the whole return of Dracula.

    You should make a list here on CV ranking the writers or something.
