1983 - John Byrne's covers for the Doctor Strange Classics





And here's one more, a little more contemporary though...

  1. This, to me, is an example of where Milgrom's inks DON'T work for me...leaves Byrne totally unrecognizable!

  2. Mock, I think that the purpose is the art looks like Ditko art...

  3. Glad PepQ said it so I didn't have to look like a jerk. ;)

    Byrne did an amazing job capturing Ditko's look. I mean, really well. I'm assuming this was done because Ditko refused to work with Marvel at the time. Or was otherwise unavailable? HMM!

    1. No jerkiness! I figure my oversight was just because I am so new to this hobby....30 years....ugh! What a maroon!

  5. I'd rather see Milgrom art than Byrne wih his elongated figures and lookalike faces and stock poses reused over and over again.

  7. I've never seen these covers before - Byrne and Milgrom did a FANTASTIC job of paying homage to the style of Ditko - WOW! :)
