Description

From Paul Smith and writer Roger Stern's amazing Dr. Strange run from the 80's. To me, Smith was the absolute best at drawing the mystical realm, Clean, the mindless ones, Dormamu etc SINCE Dikto. Loved this run, and was happy to add this piece.

Iconic solo image cover presented in the classic clean Paul Smith manner! Back then, these types of covers that could go on any issue of the run were rare.

Paul Smith's most iconic piece of non-X artwork; and one of the most gorgeous images of the good doctor created, which is high praise given the legendary artists we all associate with the character. Congrats!

A really well designed iconic cover. Smith's style of the era really brings the character to life in a way that transcends the page.

Absolutely wonderful, just exceptional in every way. It's a real pleasure to see the art without the cover dress, too!

Love this! Smith style really is great for every character he turns his attention to. Brunner is still my favorite Dr. Strange artist but Smith is definitely in my top three just under Dirko. Huge congrats on this iconic piece.

Paul Smith, Marshall Rodgers were the artists that made me pick up the Dr Strange books back in the day. Very few pages hit the market much less a great cover like this one. Congrats.

This one makes me think of Joe Quesada and the question..how big an influence was Smith on him. Very nice addition!
