Review

“Roger Stern took over as chief writer for
Doctor Strange … and subsequently took the character to new emotional heights. While previous stories focused on Strange’s powers, Stern saw dramatic potential in the man himself, and scripted his adventures accordingly.”–
Danilo Castro

“Stern doesn’t only write action/adventure, he writes real, compelling characters. Like Stan Lee before him, he lavishes numerous pages on characters’ inner lives and preoccupations. He fills out his characters and makes you care about them as much as he does. Next to Lee/Ditko, Stern wrote the best
Doctor Strange stories ever printed.” —
Thomas Piperson

“Not since the days of Englehart has any writer had such a grasp of Doctor Strange.”–
Andrea Spilholtz

“While many previous creative teams (Lee & Ditko, Englehart & Brunner, etc.) had written fine Strange stories, Stern topped them all, by mixing the cosmic with the personal.” —
Michael Rawdon

“I am hard pressed to recall other stories that capture the essence of the character and where he is no mere plot device. This is Strange at his most vital era, perhaps even more than when Steve Ditko introduced the character.”
— Nicolo Yu

“The best
Doctor Strange stories — besides those plotted by Steve Ditko — were written by Roger Stern … who, perhaps not coincidentally, wrote the best
Spider-Man stories not plotted by Steve Ditko.”–
Benito Cereno

“Roger had the Midas touch with just about everything he wrote for Marvel.
Spider-Man, Avengers, Hulk, Doctor Strange, you name it.”–
J.M. DeMatteis
