Stan Lee
Home of Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel revolution. Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko create the modern superhero. Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men debut.
The sweet spot for collectors — significant enough to be culturally important, scarce enough to be valuable. 9.8 copies are extremely rare.
Inspectable mathematical proof, blockchain/ledger provenance, data integrity validation, and asset taxonomy.
In illiquid alternative asset markets, sovereign blue-chip holdings trade at an exponential multiple over mid-grade float due to institutional accumulation and inelastic seller reservation prices.
The Sons of Satannish have taken Doctor Strange's cloak and amulet, and exiled him and Clea to a hostile dimension. A "protoplasmic shape" captures Clea, who cannot cast spells. Strange pursues it after escaping one himself. Meanwhile, Asmodeus has the Book of the Vishanti, but it vanishes, as do the cloak and the amulet. He and the Sons of Satannish use the Trance of Transferal, which gives the cultists' powers to Asmodeus. As thanks, he sends them to oblivion. He then takes the form of Doctor Strange. Back in the alien dimension, Strange frees Clea from the shape. During a brief rest, we find that he cast invisibility on his amulet and transferred much of his power into his cloak, expecting that he would lose the first encounter with the cult. He let the cultists take illusory doubles of both items. Vines attack them and envelop Strange. He sends his amulet to retrieve his cloak, which he left in a graveyard on Earth. With his full powers, he tries to return to Earth but is prevented by the fact that Asmodeus now has his form. He therefore changes his form, into a bald blue figure, and hastens to the Ancient One's retreat. There he duels with Asmodeus, whose heart fails. Strange removes his mask and finds Doctor Benton, a former colleague. He has arrived a moment too late, though, for Benton has already summoned Ymir and Surtur.
Strict algorithmic segregation separating clean single-issue Cover A sales from multi-issue lot bundles, retailer exclusives, and foreign variants.
Asmodeus assumes the form of Dr. Strange, to fool the Ancient One. Strange takes on a new masked costume. Asmodeus recites the Spell of Fire and Ice with his dying breath, releasing Ymir the frost giant and Surtur the fire demon.

This issue contains a letters page, Strange Mails. Letters are published from Jim Tomasek, James Love, S/Sgt Edward MacKinght, Christian Road, Mrs. E. Katryn Sekellick, Allen S. Hoey, Bill Labrie and Ralph Duby. In this issue, Doctor Strange first sports his "blue costume", a form in which he is no longer recognizable as Stephen Strange. In one scene, the narrator mistakenly identifies the Eye of Agamotto as the Orb of Agamotto, which is a different mystical object.
