If you ever wanted to know what Doctor Strange’s first night in his Greenwich Village brownstone was like, Marvel has you covered with Doctor Strange: From the Marvel Vault 1, written by Roger Stern with art by Neil Vokes.
“Over the years, there have been a number of stories that we’ve commissioned but that were never completed for one reason or another,” said Marvel Vice President, Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. “I and other editors up here have held onto the work that was finished, sometimes for decades, in the hope that eventually we’d be able to see these stories in print.”
“And now, with our office-move, these materials are coming to light once again. In addition to this Doctor Strange story, which was originally intended for the Marvel Universe series we published in the late ’90s, we’ve found four or five other tales which deserve to be completed and printed–so we’ll be doing just that in the months to come!”
The first issue of Doctor Strange: From the Marvel Vault arrives in February, and has a cover price of $2.99.

It’s time to put the mantle of the Sorcerer Supreme back on Strange. Apparently, Marvel’s doing nothing with Dr. Voodoo to amount to anything.
Oh…wait a minute. How stupid of me. Dr. Strange isn’t a vampire, mutant, gamma monster or Spiderman so why WOULD they use him? Never mind.
I like the idea that there are these old unpublished stories just lying around that Marvel’s going to finally bring to light. It’s like when someone finds that lost Beatles song that never got released. Sure the songs that are released like that are usually terrible, but we could get some real strange stuff if they keep this up. Especially if the first half of the book is done up in an early ’90s writing style and finished up with a modern sensibility it could be very wierd.
Correction: it could be very weird.
