Strange Tales
#146, July 1966 [published 12 Apr 66]
You know, I didn't know until recently that this was a fabricated cover, based upon some illos from the inside story. It’s a great story and I’m sorry it took so long for Dr. Strange to get a full cover to himself. It’s surprising that they just didn’t run another S.H.I.E.L.D. cover instead.
Dr. Strange:
“The End -- At Last!” - Script: Dennis O’Neil; Art: STV DTKO; Lettering: Art Simek
Well, Dormammu has gone completely crazy.
Page 3:
Continuity: as last issue’s tale is referenced.
As the story proceeds, Dormammu’s megalomania is even more extreme.
Pages 5-6:
two gorgeous full-page spreads by STV DTKO.
All the loose ends seem to be tied up in this tale. So now we’re ready for all new loose ends.
O’Neil’s writing is a little bit stiff; and it’s a little bit hokey when he has Dr. Strange overly dwell on Clea the way he does.
I’ll save my appreciation of STV DTKO for this month’s
Spider-Man
adventure.
Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.:
“When the Unliving Strike!” - Script: Stan Lee; Layouts: Jack Kirby; Art: Don Heck; Inking: Mike Esposito; Lettering: Sam Rosen
Page 3, panel 3:
In-house plug as Nick Fury discusses Marvel Comics.
There’s a bit of a conflict here, if that’s the right word. A.I.M. stands for Advanced Idea Mechanics which is an international bunch of civilian scientists. However the yellow-robed guys with the flat-topped headgear are also referred to as A.I.M. or are they
“Them”
? Hmmm! (
I guess the yellow-suited guys with the fashion handicap are indeed identified as
“Them”
.)
Already the conflict between A.I.M. and Fury’s management of S.H.I.E.L.D. has begun.
Agents of
“Them”
don’t appear to have a problem with humility.
Jasper Sitwell’s comic relief adds a little depth to the series.
There is a reference to the current Iron Man story-line.
Even by the end of this first chapter, our stalwart agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are guessing there’s a link between
“Them”
and A.I.M.
Anarchy and Chaos are the natural state of the human race. Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And Chaos must always ultimately triumph.
