Doctor Strange makes a quick return to the pages of Marvel Fanfare, when he’s summoned by the girlfriend of an aspiring sorcerer, who’s trip through the black arts has him stuck in a battle for his soul. Imagery meets imagination when the lover of the gal pal reflects a truly heroic vision of his replacement Sorcerer Supreme.
I had trouble with some of the metaphors, but it was a beautifully drawn Carmine Infantino story. Sadly, the cover was too goofy and didn’t reflect the best work of the artist or Marvel.
Then in a strange twist, MFF begins a series of single issue tales based on the Jungle Book. In the first of the series, we learn of Mowgli’s origin and how he became a member of the Jungle wolf pack. I am not sure where this is going. In fact, did Marvel have an on-going series on the Jungle Book or was this to made due of a Marvel Classics tale that never got published? It’s no bad. Just not what I’d expect from a Marvel anthology series.
Worth Consuming
Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
