Halloween Hospital Horrors HOT STUF' "Heartfelt Thanks"

Remember the movie Fantastic Voyage, about a surgeon and his support staff...
...miniaturized to enter a patient's body to perform a delicate operation?
This is like that...up to a point!
OUCH!
Didn't end quite the way it did in Fantastic Voyage, eh?
Written by Kathy Barr and illustrated by Ken Barr, this somewhat grisly tale from SQP's Hot Stuf' #8 (1978) was one of his last comic stories before transitioning to doing movie poster, magazine, and book cover paintings on a full-time basis.
Though he did numerous covers for various Marvel magazines and paperbacks, he never did one featuring Doctor Strange.
However, he was the cover artist for a Marvel series featuring one of our featured super-surgeons...Doc Savage...doing all the magazine's covers...except the first issue's, which was the 1975 movie's poster art by Roger Kastel.
