Master of the Mystic Arts: Doctor Strange Appreciation 2019

[Reviresco]

I got to meet Kevin Nowlan at Gem City Comic Con last spring, he was selling a couple of Doc prints...

Those are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them.

my beat up old Dr. Strange poster I've had since high school...





P. Craig Russell was also there and I had him sign this bit of Doc...

I had hoped to commission a piece from Kevin, but he was booked solid for the whole con.

That sounds like a great con. Both P. Craig Russell AND Kevin Nowlan. Two of my favorite artists.

Wow. I can't believe you've managed to keep that poster intact since high school. Congrats!

Yes, I've found for the more well known artists, you almost have to contact the artists before the con for a pre-con commission. I've gone into shows as soon as they opened, and some artists already have their commission lists filled!

Wow, nice poster! That and the first pic I love--very reminiscent of very good 1970's style Dr Strange drawings! Both are great.

Hey, is that you a-peeking from behind that poster, lol?

Yeah I was holding up the pic while my wife took the pic after the show.

5 Times Doctor Strange Had to Fight Without Magic

Two times in the silver / bronze age, and three times (now four?) in the modern times. Hmmmmm.

That's a beautiful poster. I have that P. Craig Russel story. It's very cool that you got his autograph.

What happened after the final panel? Did he lose to Adam Warlock?

Aaaand it was already answered.

He successfully convinced Warlock to change his mind after powering through the infinity stones, and then went back to a party or something

Basically.



That's some mad hand jiving right there.

I remember him decking some unsuspecting foe with a punch many times in the older stories, but I suppose that doesn't count as "had to"

Looking at the examples given:

1. He wasn't depowered, he merely lacked some of his tools. "No Cloak" does not mean "no magic".
2. The same, really. It was a question of confidence, not ability. And this also leans on the "Strange has no powers without his artifacts" line.
3. This counts as an example, as so many of his spells include a gestural component.
4. "No Eye" doesn't mean "no magic" either, despite what Bendis wanted folks to believe.
5. Not the best example, either.

The wildest part is, that there's actually an example of Doc fighting without powers in THE OATH, which is a much better story than the more recent examples.

Yeah, it's weird they didn't add the scene from the oath, but oh well

That is a great cover. I'm so pleased to see Clea again.

[Phoenixx9]

Yes! I have not seen you--er, I mean Clea-- for a long time! Where have you been?

The above shows Clea as strong and beautiful.

Very nice! And I of course, like Clea as well and love her updated costume. However, I am not a fan of tiny lip beards, lol.

It's nice to see them bringing back Clea and she looks great .

I hope Waid writes her well and doesn't go for the low-blow of her relationship with Stephen that most writers seem to harp on.
