I'm glad you found it, Marvel discontinued those large " monster size" books and I doubt they'll ever be reprinted due to the costs, they are now hard to find and they'll keep increasing in value. I have 5 of them but unfortunately not the Doc Strange. I paid for one but it never arrived!
They are totally impractical and near impossible to read, but sensational. It would be interesting to read one on a train or the Underground to see people's reactions.
Doc Strange comics were published in this order -
Strange Tales - 110, 111, 114 - 168
Doctor Strange - 169 - 183 (continued numbering from Strange Tales)
Marvel Premiere - 3 - 14
Doctor Strange - 1 - 81 this began in 1974.
And various other series after that to present day.
Starting in the Marvel Premiere issues Steve Englehart writer and Frank Brunner artist took on the title, continuing into the first few issues of the 74 series. These are stunning seventies prime Marvel, great writing and Brunner is a brilliant artist, he used themes from Alice in Wonderland and had Strange conversing with the Marijuana Smoking Caterpillar. I don't think these issues have been collected into a hardcover yet. But may may up a Doc Strange Vol 3 Omnibus edition. They are well worth checking out.
Here's a classic image of Strange by Brunner, with Clea (sigh) in the foreground -
Ha! Now I want to take my Dr Strange book on a subway! That would be hilarious!
Thanks for that info, I have a feeling i’ll end up hunting down the Omnibus series as well.
I have four of the Third Eye Black light posters from the 70’s. Medusa, Hulk being grabbed by the giant hand, Hela being revived (So Shall it Be!) and Dr. Strange and Infinity:

It’s the later Dr. Strange with the mask, but it’s still a cool image.
i like the Frank Brunner image you linked to. Very trippy!
Hello There Joe,
Remember the album "The Marvel World Of Icarus"from 1972,by UK act Icarus,it has the Hulk,Captain America and all the other Marvel Comics characters on its artwork,and looking at the titles of songs,Spiderman,Hulk,Iron Man,Thor,Black Panther,Silver Surfer,Captain America and such......so its a little curio for Marvel related items,and a BIG plus,its a good bloody album,a bit strange,but to my ears its certainly in that psych/prog crossover vibe.I enjoy it anyway!!
I can’t remember where I’ve seen the cover of that album. but i know i have. Maybe in Tapestry of Delights or a book like that. I’ll have to check that out because I’ve never heard it! Good reminder…😀👍
Thanks!
