Full 1980 Marvel Comics CalendarBy rkassLately, I've been consistently pleased with the extras in the Masterworks and Omnibus collections from Marvel. The 1980 Marvel calendar was all Doctor Strange, and not only had incredible artwork by Byrne, Pollard, Perez, and other greats, it also had informative blurbs in the calendar cells that exposed me to the events of earlier issues that I missed before I started reading the series with Doc # 9. A few years back I regretted throwing mine away in 1981 so I found a slightly beat up copy on Ebay. The calendar is reproduced in its entirety here, including the calendar pages, front and back covers (back cover by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson), and even Stan's intro and the "Bullpen Birthdays" pages!As usual the book has nice color reproduction for the main stories. Artist is Gene Colan on most but there are also stories drawn by Michael Golden, Marshall Rogers (from Fanfare 5) and others. "What If?" # 18 is also included.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Chris Claremont writes the Master of the Mystic ArtsBy Jim DavisThe 8th Dr. Strange masterwork covers a relatively brief period at the beginning of the 1980s when Chris Claremont was the Dr. Strange scribe. It's a holding pattern of sorts but a fairly well written one, as one would expect of Claremont. There are two major story arcs. One has Strange foiling (with the help of Man-Thing) a plot by Baron Mordo to destroy the world. The second involves Strange tracking Clea and Wong to another dimension to clear up a mess started by Wong's ancestor. Neither are really close to peak Dr. Strange that we got from Lee and Ditko and later by Englehart and Brunner but it is a pleasant read. A nice touch was Claremont trying to expand Strange's supporting cast with neighbor Sara Wolfe and tabloid reporter Starrett. What Claremont does not do is further the "Dweller in Darkness" plot left hanging from the previous masterworkThe artwork is in the capable hands of Gene Colan with Dan Green doing commendable inking. The last issue of Dr. Strange collected here, #46, is a complete hodgepodge of writers and artists but is surprisingly readable.Other issues are collected here that are connected in some way to the main storylines. There is a Man-Thing crossover, a Clea solo story in Defenders, a nice little self contained story from Marvel Fanfare, and an interesting What If? issue where the darker side of Strange is highlighted as a Dormammu disciple.The icing on the cake is the complete 12 month 1980 Dr. Strange calendar. There are also a couple of pages of original art and a four page introduction by Claremont.Recommended but not Strange at or even near his peak. I get the impression that Claremont didn't really "get" Strange although I'm sure if he had been on the book longer that would have changed.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good but not Fantastic...By CarlosThis is not the best Doctor Strange's Marvel Masterworks. It is basically a Gene Colan book (173 pages from 256 pages of history) which is not the problem; I guess Dan Green (although I like him) was not the best choice to ink Gene Colan's art. As it is said in the description, the book covers Doctor Strange 38-46, Man Thing 4, Defenders 53 (just a small story of Clea), Marvel Fanfare 5 (I guess the first work of Marshall Rogers on Doctor Strange) and What if? 18 (What if Doctor Strange has been a disciple of Dormammu?").The five page story "A Moment's Peace" with art by MIchael Golden is the higher point of the book. Of course, he did some of the covers too. The Man-Thing story is part of a crossover placed between Doctor Strange 40 and 41. The writing of Chris Claremont is solid but not fantastic. But it is a good book for fans of Doctor Strange. Celebrated writer Chris Claremont turns his magic toward the Master of the Mystic Arts: Doctor Strange! Joined by artistic icon Gene Colan, there's no doubt that the Doctor is in! Together, these creative giants return Baron Mordo to the fore, arming him with the occult secrets of the Vatican and testing Doctor Strange's mystic might. Then, Wong is captured by the Shadowqueen, and Clea and Strange must traverse dimensions and battle the demonic N'Garai to save him! Also featuring a Claremont/Marshall Rogers masterpiece; an alternate world where Doctor Strange is a disciple of the Dread Dormammu; and the1980 all-Doctor Strange Marvel Comics Calendar, illustrated by an amazing array of top artists from Frank Miller to John Byrne! COLLECTING: DOCTOR STRANGE (1974) #38-46, MAN-THING (1979) #4, MARVEL FANFARE (1982) #5, WHAT IF? (1977) #18, and material from the MARVEL COMICS CALENDER 1980 "[Chris Claremont] had a brief run on Doctor Strange that started with issue # 38 and ended with issue #45. I loved how he crossed Doctor Strange [over with the] Man-Thing while he was writing those books. Claremont really had a nice way of writing them both." -- Bill Gladman"[Here's] a nice multi-part Doctor Strange/Baron Mordo epic that crosses over with an issue of Man-Thing. The Doctor Strange issues all have good writing by Claremont bolstered by Gene Colan art." -- supermegamonkey.net"Few writers were better at comic book melodrama than Chris Claremont. [He] translated his pomp to profound effect in Marvel Fanfare #5. Artists Marshall Rogers and P. Craig Russell bring sharp visuals to the table." -- Danilo Castro"Rogers' wonderfully wavy layouts aided by Russell's psychedelic inks are the perfect fit for a magic-based story while Claremont's usual loquaciousness also proves quite apt for Strange and makes me wish he had written the character more over the years." -- Ben Morse"Claremont was consistently good through the late seventies and early eighties at Marvel. I was always pleased to see his name pop up on the masthead. His X-Men work is best remembered, of course, but he wrote just about everything at Marvel a time or two." -- Paul O'ConnorAbout the AuthorChris Claremont wrote the X-Men for seventeen years as well as the novelization of the movie X-Men 2. He has been the co-creator of several top-selling series for Marvel Comics, and wrote the Star Trek twenty-fifth-anniversary graphic novel Debt of Honor for DC Comics. His debut novel was Firstflight, to which he wrote two sequels, Grounded and Sundowner. Peter B. Gillis began as a 1970s freelancer on Marvel Two-in- One, Super-Villain Team-Up, and other titles. Later, he became regular writer on Defenders, Eternals and Strange Tales, in which he subjected Doctor Strange to a soul-searching gamut of good and evil magic. Elsewhere in the Marvel multiverse, he wrote thes hort-lived Micronauts: The New Voyages and launched Strikeforce: Morituri with Brent Anderson, telling tales of a universe in which superhumans must embrace death to protect the Earth. He has also written for First Comics, TSR Games and others; he co-created Shatter, the first digital comic. Roger Stern has written for radio, television, the stage, and the Internet, creating scripts for everything from sketch comedy to flash-animation. For ten years, he was the senior writer of the SUPERMAN series, and has written hundreds of stories about such diverse characters as Green Lantern, Supergirl, Starman, and the Justice League for DC Comics; and Spider-Man, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, and the Avengers for Marvel. His first prose novel, The Death and Life of Superman, was a New York Times bestseller.
