Review/plot: Dr. Strange rescues a pair of thugs who broke into his house and by trying to steal a purple gem got themselves trapped in another dimension called the Purple Dimension.

In doing so he engages in a sorcerous duel with the tyrant Aggamon.

Here's another time that Strange invokes Dormammu as if he weren't a villain.

most boring mystical battle ever.

Strange also calls for Mormammu, the page directly before the Dormammu frame shown above. Is that just a typo? Or does Mormammu come back?

Strange's reaction to finding two burglars in his house is awesome. He starts to cast a spell on them then says "Bah! You're not worthy of my time or talents!"

Strange vs. Aggamon: It's the Metapod vs. Metapod of magic battles!
