More humor than usual in this issue. First time these two villains teamed up in what would become pretty much a lifelong partnership!

Disclose Notes: This is the first Doctor Strange story. It's clear there's a lot of history between Strange and Nightmare. Doctor Strange resembles Vincent Price, who played a magician in the Roger Corman-Edgar Allan Poe film, The Raven (1963).
