UNCANNY ORIGINS "Physician, Heal Thyself!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

After an obsession for money was drilled into him by his father, young Steven Strange studied medicine, not to help his fellow man, but for profit!

His dedication to using his skills only to make himself rich left him a drunken, friendless (though wealthy) in-demand surgeon with skills second-to-none.

His alcoholism caused him to crash his car, destroying his manual dexterity and his career.

Since science couldn't help him, Steven followed rumors of a mystic guru who could allegedly-cure anything..

We hope you enjoyed this presentation of the good Doctor's origin, and that you'll go see

It's our annual Haunted Hospital Halloween blogathon cranked up to "11"!

UNCANNY ORIGINS "Physician, Heal Thyself!" Part 1

With a new movie starring him opening tomorrow...

...we thought "Why wait for Halloween to present our annual 'Origin of Doctor Strange' story...as we did twice-previously?

(His original origin from 1963 HERE and an expanded retelling from 1968 HERE!)

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...

Tomorrow!

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".
