Bloomsbury presents Doctor Strange: A Decade of Dark Magic by Stuart Moore, read by Jason Lasky.

Explore the Stories Behind the Legends

Enter a world where reality bends, and magic reigns supreme.

From psychedelic dimensions to counterculture cool, Doctor Strange was unlike anything else in comics. One of Marvel’s most fascinating early characters, he began at the hands of co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and his ethereal voyages through other dimensions made him an iconic figure in 1960s culture.

From his first appearance in 1963, Strange captivated a wide range of readers. Over his first ten years, a succession of writers and artists—including Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, Gardner F. Fox, P. Craig Russell, Marie Severin, and notably Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner—expanded on Ditko’s original mind-bending concepts.

This entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS explores Strange’s changing roles as a mystic, super hero, and leader of a chaotic team called the Defenders, and the rise of his popularity, in parallel with the counterculture of the 1960s.

This is a must-have for fans of Marvel’s early era, pop culture history, and the stories that shaped a generation.©2023 Marvel Brands LLC (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
