Description

Frank Brunner’s run (with writer Steve Englehart) on Doctor Strange is among my favorites. In fact Jim Starlin and Brunner were (consciously, or otherwise) competing for the trippiest “superhero” stories published at the time. And I was the right age to eat up that stuff.

Comic book storytelling on acid. Side effects not included.

Brunner beautifully recreates his original cover for issue #2 of the 1973 series. In fact, the line work and cross-hatching appears more precise than the original. Overall impression — it is a knockout

Done correctly, Strange was always a fascinating character whose stories could combine magic, fantasy, SF and horror into a mind-bending mix.

So when I heard Sam Raimi was on tap to direct the Doctor Strange film sequel, the only word that jumped to mind?

Perfect.

Raimi is a very talented director — and good guy — who I had the pleasure of briefly working with during the filming of the original Spider-Man movie way back in 2001. As fans know, despite his Spidey pedigree, he has a love for the supernatural and the weird.

I’m really looking forward to his take on the good doctor.

That is an incredible recreation! Brunner did such a great job on Dr Strange, and his splashes and covers were something else. Congrats!
