Doctor Strange: The Tongues of Men and Angels!

The second volume of Doctor Strange went out with a bang in 1987. Strange fights one of his most outrageous, cosmic-light-drenched battles of all time against a really evil alien.

Back Story: This alien fascist came to earth, stole all of the Doctor’s mystical doo-dads and his house, kidnapped his friends just to torture them, and mortally wounded Strange’s body. What a dick! Aliens really suck sometimes.

While his body recovers, Strange finds an ally: a really nice alien who was fixing his Cloak of Levitation. The nice alien plays host to Strange’s astral body, so they can fly across the universe to kick alien ass together. And – cue the mystical light effects!

Collector’s Guide:
- From Doctor Strange #81; Marvel, 1987.

We threw in a few panels of the evil alien fascist world from issue #79 for you!

This Must be the Galactic Core – Storm Goes Alien!

Storm rocks hard – and not just because she used to wear a mohawk! Storm went toe-to-toe with Dr. Doom and won (Uncanny X-Men #145-147), even if she did get suckered into dinner with Doom first. Wearing only a bikini, she wrestled an alligator and knifed its a$$ good (Classic X-Men #22). If she weren’t married these days, we would totally ask her out.

Of course, being taken over by aliens tends to put a strain on a relationship… But it’s nothing Storm can’t handle! Behold how Ororo taps into the power of the galactic core to destroy the alien gestating in her body!

Collector’s Guide:
- From Uncanny X-Men #165.
- Also included, the Mike Mignola cover from the reprint in Classic X-Men #69.
