Review/plot:
Dr. Strange repels an alien invasion. The aliens have mystical powers that allow them to astrally project and possess the local humans.

The locals suspect Dr. Strange of being behind their problems when he first shows up. But even they admit that he looks "awesome".

Possibly the first alien invasion ever to have been repelled via magic.

Quality Rating: C

Historical Significance Rating: 4 - formative Dr. Strange story

Chronological Placement Considerations: There is still nothing here that places this story in any particular period. Continuing to scatter these throughout the early marvel period to catch up with their publishing date (due to initial placement as suggested by Marvel: The Lost Generation).

Crossover: N/A
