Solicit Synopsis

A Marvel Masterpiece from deep inside the treasure vaults can now be told!

For decades, Doctor Stephen Strange has worked as a practicing sorcerer out of the weird old brownstone at 177A Bleecker Street in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. But what eerie secrets does the building hide? What lurks within its walls? Is it ... haunted? Now, at last, the full story of Doctor Strange's first night in his Sanctum Sanctorum stands revealed –- in a tale tastefully told by Roger Stern (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) and dramatically drawn by those Masters of the Comic Arts, Neil Vokes and Jay Geldhof (UNTOLD TALES OF SPIDER-MAN: STRANGE ENCOUNTERS, The Black Forest).

Notes

  • This story is an expansion of Roger Stern's backstory of Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum that had been published twenty-eight years earlier in Doctor Strange (Vol. 2) #56. As revealed by Mr. Stern in the "Secrets of the Vault!" message that appeared on the first page, this story had been written back in 1998 for the Marvel Universe that had been canceled before the story was completed.
  • Patrick Lamb, the man who sold the townhouse to Dr. Strange, previously appeared as the unnamed realtor in that earlier story. With this story, his creator Roger Stern finally gave him a name.
  • Although Doc seems to refer to his amulet as the Eye of Agamotto, the fact that it's the first amulet that he had been given by the Ancient One means that it must actually be the less-powerful Amulet of Agamotto.
