Continuing the storytime from where we left off here

Tonight we're diving into Strange Tales #116 featuring the return of Nightmare, and some great Ditko Strange imagery.
>>87212701
So how's everybody doing tonight?
>Nightmare looking through Spider-Man eyes
Oh Steve.
>>87212772
Notable first inclusion of the Book of the Vishanti here. Already, it's established as an impressive source of protective spells.

And here we have Strange calling on the Hosts of Hoggoth.
I love this kind of magical trickery and counter-trickery.
Give a bump if you're reading.
This is honestly where the depiction of magic starts to get most separated from the kind of dueling of energy blasts you often see. Creative stuff on Steve Ditko's part
On to Mordo! an this one I really like out of Mordo's early appearances, you'll see why.
This sort of thing is seen a lot in the early Mordo issues. His power is great enough to be more than a match for Strange, and yet Strange gets by with his intellect in how he uses magic.
For the love of god stop storytiming this terrible quality and download the digital versions. Ditko's whole run is collected digitally and his art deserves the high quality.

You actually like the digital art more than the print versions?
Yes you're seeing this right.
Strange sent his astral form through the entire planet to come out the other side.
>>87213342
Absolutely. It's not a recolor. The art is so clean and beautiful as Ditko intended. The files you have are very yellowed and degraded with poor printing. Digital is objectively better.

Alright, I guess I'll just finish up with this issue before I go get the better ones. Do you know how to get a hold of them?
>>87213382
Ditko drew Strange with some pretty slanty-looking eyes in some of these early issues.
T6h i kinda like it

Torrents.

www(dot)seedpeer(dot)eu/details/9488707/Doctor-Strange-Collection-1963-2010-REQUESTED---Nem--.html (for the remaining 142-146)
Unfortunately the covers for the Masterworks issues are indeed recolored, but not really a big deal considering the covers are mostly Human Torch (since Strange was a backup)

Thanks. I honestly didn't know there was a better version out there. I think this one came from Kickass Torrents a while ago.
>>87213996
No prob. Storytimers are always based and deserve assistance where useful.
Well it's definitely cleaner...
Alright, I'm continuing with the digital versions.
Anyone still reading?
>For the history of man is rich in legend..in folklore which is closer to the truth than any suspect!
