Fresh Eyes on Old Books #8 by Dan!
Watching football and reading old comics on a Sunday, pleasant to say the least. Doctor Strange #170 from 1968 By this point in the Mighty Marvel Manner, Stan Lee hadn’t been writing nearly as much. So what you do get is the sweet Roy Thomas work on Dr. Strange, which is completely worth it. Nightmare is a pretty doofy villain, and honestly he was defeated by being wrapped in a cloak.

This Cardinals game is depressing me, and I’m already exhausted, Let’s look at some old stuff! World’s Finest #99 from 1959 I can honestly say this wasn’t what I was expecting. They manage to cram four different stories into one issue and it kinda seems like the type of story that would be ideal for younger generations.
