Chan's inks are pretty dominant and give it that "Conan vs Thulsa Doom" vibe. Stern was an interesting writer: always had a good feel for characterization and inter-character relationships that rang true. <br /><br />John Lavinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-31470427945771301022018-08-23T23:07:22.837-04:002018-08-23T23:07:22.837-04:00Loved that surprising Sutton/Chan combo at the tim...Loved that surprising Sutton/Chan combo at the time, so much so that their (and Stern's) first issue of Strange was still very readable despite the disappointment of the Starlin no show (after that cliffhanger ending to the brilliant #26 - aaarrgh! )<br />Usually those Filipino guys tended to overpower the pencils with their own style, but here you still get that distinctive, feverish quality Sutton's work had with an added realism that seems appropriate for Dr. Strange.<br /><br />Great choice Groove.<br />Maybe in the near future you could post that issue Sutton did with P. Craig Russell...?<br /><br />-sean<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-50736867900826136862018-08-23T16:53:03.292-04:002018-08-23T16:53:03.292-04:00I always loved this issue, still remember grabbing...I always loved this issue, still remember grabbing it from the spinner rack.

Don't know what the thinking was behind the pairing but I would have prefered all Sutton. The Brunner cover was nice. His name will forever be associated with Dr. Strange. Have you run any part of the magnificent 6 issue Rogers/Austin run of Dr. Strange, 48 - 53? I believe Stern wrote those also.keythd23https://www.blogger.com/profile/00690368680707726203noreply@blogger.com
