Doctor Strange (Dr. Strange) and Dormammu

While Rogers clearly had a bit of Neal Adams influence, I also think one of his less obvious influences was Steve Ditko (although there is clearly alot of Ditko influence in this piece), especially in the way that characters moved and in storytelling. In a video tribute to Steve Ditko, a comics professional (and I don't remember who it was) said that Ditko was a true "artist."  The explanation was that Ditko's vision of different worlds and unusual characters, brought new worlds to life, which not too many comic creators can do. 

I feel that Rogers was one of those creators, who, when given free reign could create those different worlds and bring comics to life in a way that not all creators could. While Rogers' Detective run was a seminal event of the 70s that I treasure as one of my favorite Batman runs, I feel that Rogers' Dr. Strange run let him flex his creative muscles and show expansive worlds beyond the bricks and mortar of Gotham. I've seen this commission several times and each time it blows me away.

Congratulations on a strange and magical acquisition.
