Notes
- Cover art: sketch by Potts, pencils, inks and colors by Nowlan.[1]
- In "Bitter Obligations Like an Unmade Bed" McLaurin is credited with "story input".
- In this issue, Enitharmon the Weaver very definitively states that Stephen Strange was born in the farmhouse now owned by Beatrice Meriwether. This contradicts claims first made in Doctor Strange's profile in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe #3 that he was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Later handbook entries claim that Stephen's parents lived in Nebraska but were visiting Philadelphia when he was born.
