Roger Stern concludes the saga begun by Jim Starlin in Doctor Strange #23. With artists Tom Sutton and Ernie Chan, Stern pits the Doctor against the In-Betweener for two solid issues. It’s pretty awesome, and check out these radical double splash pages!

If you sense the hand of Jim Starlin in these two issues, you are right on. He isn’t in the credits, but Stern wrote a letter to the letters page telling how Starlin masterminded this whole storyline and told Stern what he had in mind for the good Doctor. The whole thing ends up tying up some loose plot threads from Starlin’s original Warlock run. For the conclusion of this cosmic battle, click Part Two.
