This version, from 1997, expands it even more, detailing why Steven Strange was obsessed with making money from his superb surgical skills...as well as revealing he was an alcoholic (which you might think would've impaired his mental faculties and hand-eye coordination) while in medical school, during his surgical practice...and was the cause of the car crash that destroyed his manual dexterity!
To Be Concluded...
Written by Bronze/Modern Age scribe Len Wein and illustrated by Mark Campos, this tale from Marvel's Uncanny Origins #12 (1997) concentrated more on his pre-mystic years than any of the previous tellings of "who he is and how he came to be".
