About this title

Review

"As with nearly every DK book I've ever read, this collection by Billy Wrecks and Danny Graydon (with a foreword by comics writing icon, Roger Stern) succeeds in being exhaustive yet condensed, providing the reader with access to just about everything that has touched Doctor StephenStrange's life since he became the Master of the Mystic Arts. Hardcoverwith gilt-edged pages (a nice touch!), this oversized book takes readers on an encyclopedic tour of Strange's origins, his allies, hisassociates, his enemies, and the notable turning points in his life.
"Each page is filled with artwork culled from the different decades of the publication of DOCTOR STRANGE. The clashing, divergent styles puttogether on the same page add to the notion that the world can be seenin differing ways through Strange's eyes, almost as if each era was awindow into a different dimension." -- RJ Carter

"A handsome addition to any fan's coffee table orbookshelf. As a conversation starter or as a surface level introductionto the mystical Marvel Universe, The Mysterious World of Doctor Strange does the job right, just be ready to supplement it with some internet deep dive as well." -- Jamie Lovett

"The foreword of this book is written by legendary comic scribe Roger Stern who has worked on some of the world's most famous comic-book characters and he discusses how certain writers -- [such as] Roy Thomas -- directed Doctor Strange, and of course influenced his own time with the Sorcerer Supreme. So even if you have never read a Marvel comic featuring Doctor Strange, this book is the best place to start because of the amount of detailand imagery used to help draw you into the mythical world of thismagical super-hero." -- Andrew Bistak
