More early adventures of Doctor Strange by Stan the Man Lee!
Doctor Strange is back, brought to you by the occult imaginings of Stan Lee, Bill Everett, Marie Severin and Dan Adkins. With a roll call of classic creators like that, this Epic Collection is anything but cursed. Doctor Strange’s adventures will take him across the cosmos and into new dimensions as he struggles to save Earth from Kaluu, Umar and the judgment of the Living Tribunal. Then, in his own solo series, Doctor Strange gains one of his greatest creative teams of all time: Roy Thomas, Gene Colan and Tom Palmer. This trio of talents will pit the Master of the Mystic arts against Eternity and Dormammu with the lives of Clea and Victoria Bentley hanging in the balance.

Doctor Strange #179 is cover dated April 1969 the same month as Amazing Spider-Man 71, Avengers 63, Fantastic Four 84 & X-Men 55 .

Cover Is: Doctor Strange 169
Title Is: Doctor Strange 172
Big one this: Doctor Strange 2 regularly came near the top of people's Most Wanted Epics list with Amazing Spider-Man 16, X-Men 18, Silver Surfer 2 & Iron Man 12. It fills a one volume gap giving Doctor Strange a starting run of 1-5, which is also his largest run so far.
As the numbers suggest Strange Tales becomes Doctor Strange with issue 169, continuing to issue 183.
However later in the 1970s strange tales resumes with it's original numbering from 169 continuing to 188!

This joins Epic 1 to the run of Epics 3-5
1 Master of the Mystic Arts Strange Tales 110-111, 114-146
2 I, Dormannu Strange Tales #147-168, Doctor Strange #169-179
3 A Separate Reality 180-183, 1-5
4 Alone Against Eternity 6-26 annual 1
5 The Reality War 29-51
6
7
8 Triumph and Torment 1-13 MGN Triumph & Torment
9 The Vampire Verses 14-33 Ghost Rider 12
10 Infinity War 34-47 annual 2
11 Nightmare on Bleecker Street 48-61 annual 3 (due spring 2023)
12
13 Afterlife 76-90
Just THREE Epics to go!
Epics 6 & 7 will complete the 70s/80s Doctor Strange and gather his Strange Tales Appearances: 52-73 in Epic 6 and 74-81, Into Shamballa and Strange Tales in Epic 7 I suspect
March 2022's Doctor Strange Marvel Masterworks, volume 10, collected Doctor Strange #58-73 prhcomics.com/book/?isbn=9781302933203 so the next Masterworks, probably in 2024, takes the Epic 6 material off the board for early 2025.
Epic 12 is now a 1 volume gap:
Doctor Strange Sorcerer Supreme 62-75 & Annual 4 and, probably given it's in the Third Sorcerer Supreme Omnibus and the Epic is a bit short at the moment, Midnight Sons Unlimited 6
About 19 1/2 issues worth when the Unlimited, which is 2 1/2 issues worth, is included.
The MMW clash means the next Doctor Strange Epic is a straight choice between 7 and 12. Place Bets Now!
I'm only expecting one Doctor Strange Epic in 2024 as, until recently, it's essentially been a 1 book per year Epic Title:
2013
2014
2015
2016 3
2017 13
2018 1
2019 8
2020
2021 4 & 9
2022 5 & 10
2023 11
2024 2
In 2021 Epic 4 was a carryover from the Covid Chaos of 2020 leaving Epic 9 as the sole title originally scheduled for that year.
2022 looks to be the first year with two PLANNED Doctor Strange Epics, tying into his film's release at the cinema and it's home media debut.
