The original Ditko stuff is definitive (and holds up imo, bought the omni recently) so would be a starting rec anyway. If you get to the end of his run and want more, well then just keep reading. I can't single out specific bits in good conscience, it's just that consistent. Heck even his ridiculous mid-life crisis in the 90s had a distinct creativity & flare to it.

>ridiculous mid-life crisis

That sounds actually pretty interesting. Super heroes struggeling orhaving crisis is a concept I like in general. As I told you, I got more in thouch with the recent stuff and here Strange is already suffering from his long and extensive use / abuse of magic and is in some physical parts barely human any more. I like this concept so far... it reminds of an elder rock star having to pay now for his extravagant and unhealthy lifestyle. Plus all the diseases he has are again part of those medical allusions / metaphors that connect just well with a character with such an academic background.

Anon no I was being metaphorical.
Marvel redesigned him to look like Criss Angel since that kind of bishie emo stuff was hot at the time. People loathe that run and rightfully so. I just have a personal soft spot for the sheer weirdness of it.

Oh I see, yeah there were some characters in comic history that went through some questionable redesigns I guess. Still interested how it will work for me.

Thanks again for the help by the way.

...That said maybe it WAS written as a midlife crisis in-universe too. I can't remember.

I'm first to shit alllllllll over the current run whenever the opportunity presents itself. As far as I'm concerned, it couldn't be more different from classic Dr Strange comics. Although the latest arc was a big improvement, to its credit.
Not meant as condemnation, read what you enjoy by all means. Rather as context. I just suggested you read ~200 comics, because I really like them. But I like them because they're very different to a comic you like.

*so yeah, like I said: see what you think of the OG Ditko run. That sets the tone for the next 25 years nicely.

Warren Ellis did a small run in the late 90s that was pretty good and it was followed up by a pretty awesome Demattius run before the book was cancelled.

Probably the best oft-forgetten run of Strange.

I bet Aaron didn't even read that DeMatties arc.

OP here again, I am not kidding guys, reading through your posts there is some kind of anticipation and hype in my guts that I haven't felt since a long time. Such a great feeling that there is a whole universe before me waiting to be discovered.
