DOCTOR STRANGE in BlackLite!

The Doctor Strange story we ran for the past two days...

...produced not one...

...but two...

...classic blacklite posters in the early 1970s!

Third Eye Studios produced, using Marvel artwork, a line of fluorescent-ink posters, greeting cards, and puzzles that glow under ultra-violet ("black") light...

 

(Click to enlarge)

...all of which are now hard-to-find and expensive!

Ironically, the hardest to find and most collectible posters are the montage shown above and this one with new art by John Romita Sr...

(Click to enlarge)
...which were not for sale, just display!
There were three Doctor Strange posters, the two Colan/Palmer ones and a Dan Adkins piece.
Note: while all the puzzles repeated art from the posters, some of the greeting cards used art not seen on the posters, so while there are repeats, there are also unique cards that make the set worth collecting!

Holiday Reading Room DOCTOR STRANGE "Eternity, Eternity" Conclusion

When Last We Left the Sorcerer Supreme...

...it was the end of 1968, New Year's Eve, to be exact.

After seeing a vision of the etherial Eternity changing into his old enemy, Nightmare, Dr Strange takes his alien love, Clea, to Times Square to experience New Year's Eve: New York City Style...where a pterodactyl crashes into the clock as it strikes midnight!

Yep, True Believer, it's another of Marvel's patented "continued stories"!

But our intent here is to present only the New Year's Eve part of the tale, since both parts have been reprinted recently.

So we're going to show you how Marvel itself got out of re-running the entire two-parter when it ran this tale from Doctor Strange #180 (1969) in Marvel Treasury Edition #8: Giant SuperHero Holiday Grab-Bag (1975)!

The editors took the Gene Colan penciled and inked presentation piece showing the finalized design for Doc's "superhero-style" costume that appeared as a pin-up in Doctor Strange #180...

...took out the final panel of the story and used the Doc figure with a new word balloon!

Sneaky, huh?

Written by Roy Thomas, penciled by Gene Colan, and inked by Tom Palmer, this tale is one of the koolest of the era's Dr Strange stories with pop culture references galore and accurate NYC locales!

The cover, btw is a combination of a Steve Ditko Eternity figure, a new Doctor Strange by Colan and Palmer and a New York City photo background (Marvel did several photo background covers during this period)

Reading Room JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY "Fredreick Fenton's Future!"

Our final time travel tale of the year is about a greedy, fat, rich guy...

...who thinks of nobody but himself.
No, it's not Donald Trump...

I always wondered what would happen if a time machine ran out of power in a location that had no resources to refuel/recharge it.
Writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko supply the answer in this never-reprinted story from Marvel's Journey into Mystery #96 (1963)

Be here tomorrow as I re-present my favorite New Year's Eve story from the Silver Age of Comics!

It's a tale so graphically-awesome that two splash pages from it became highly-sought-after blacklite posters!
