Review/plot:
Dr. Strange has an unwanted case of "mind-junk".

It turns out to be a call for help from his (never before seen) friend Aleister Kane. Kane has been doing some extra-dimensional exploration with the help of mirrors.

And it turns out the denizens of the mirror dimension are sucking his soul. Dr. Strange kills Kane to save his soul.

At the end of the story, Dr. Strange notes that the "old masters shunned mirrors", and i guess this was why.

This story is mainly a vehicle for some Gene Colan art. The normal comments about Marvel Fanfare and back-up stories apply.

Quality Rating: C

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Comments

If Strange is using his "Stephen Sanders" alias, then shouldn't this take place before Doctor Strange 11?
