This is one of my favourite of Kirby’s attempts to draw Doctor Strange. Still very Kirby, without question, but also using Ditko’s designs well. I love that look on Baron Mordo’s face. And of course the added bonus of the funnier half of the FF in Beatle wigs, well, there’s a book worth 12 cents just for the cover. Some fine Chic Stone inking on this one.
Published 1965
That cover is showcased on my bookshelf right now (along with two other Kirby-Stone classics – FF 31 and Journey into Mystery 111)! An all time favorite cover for me as well!
