Don't miss this all-new story, as Strange finds that the road to Sorcerer Supreme can be a real pain in the…astral form!”

Mystic Apprentice #1 not takes a new stab at focussing on the early years of Doctor Steven Strange - just in time to get to know him a little better before the movie release - it also reprints he original first appearance and origin stories of Doctor Strange from STRANGE TALES #110 and #115 written by Stan Lee and drawn by the inimitable Steve Ditko. In a world of reboots and umpteen origin stories, this issue offers the best of both mystical dimensions.

A. J. S. Scott was created as a homunculus by a mad English Alchemist who was trying to make rum from ink and seawater. He is still a fan of both and he has no comment on what happened to all the ‘No Exit’ signs in Islington Underground Station when he visited for Beltaine. You can send him missives by bribing the Right Raven with sour-strings, or: Instagram: @ajsscott Tumblr: andrew-scott-things.tumblr.com
