I've heard Ben Franklyn was married in the US, in Philly but he frequently traveled to France for the ladies, he may have even had syphilis, so to go even farther, Ben Franklyn most likely gave Dr. Strange syphilis. Also, Lotta people don't know this but he made his son fly that kite in a thunderstorm, he wasn't holding that thing! Lool!
This was the only Doctor Strange comic book I had in the late 1970s when I was very young. It was very difficult finding comic books in Sri Lanka in the 1970s/1980s, but my mother somehow managed to find this book and my father read it to me. I loved this story and Doctor Strange especially because of the supernatural elements of it. I have since bought it as part of the Essential series of Doctor Strange compilations of comic books.
I know this is super wierd and specific but I love stories about people who loved comics but didn't have them very available as a kid, because you can tell how much they treasured the ones they did have 😊
I love Ditko’s run. I think it’s something very different than anything Marvel was doing at the time. I know you get plenty of recommendations, but I would love you to look into Hickman’s run on New Avengers (incursion storyline) or his Fantastic Four run. I missed both of these when they were released. When I went back and found them they were a revelation. I love the way Hickman handles Marvel’s history. It’s very important to his books. These two runs are two of my favorite runs in a modern, mainstream book hands down.
If you read the very next issue, it is discovered that the affair between Clea and Franklin was only an illusion created by the rival sorcerer. The exact words of Strange are: "Whatever I thought had gone on between Franklin and Clea was simply a shadow play for my mind only". The scenes in issue 18 make perfect sense in context.
@@ComicTropes I don’t know why you’re surprised that a fat bald guy could get the ladies. Biggie Smalls, Orson Welles, Luciano Pavarotti. There have been a number of larger-than-life Lotharios throughout history.
I love all of Steve Englehart's work, but the best Doctor Strange run post-Ditko was Roger Stern's run between issues # 47 and #75. Back then it was a bimonthly title wich was ideal for slow and/or meticulous artists. So Stern's run was not only well written, but got illustrated by some of the best artists available at the time. His run started with Marshall Rogers inked by Terry Austin! Then, there was another series of issues by the team of Dan Green (also with beautiful inks by Austin). And the run closed with Paul Smith on art! Between artists changes there were single issues with amazing guest artists like Michael Golden, Kevin Knowlan, Steve Leialoha (who should have drawn more Doctor Strange, his style was well -suited for this), and one of my favorite Doctor Strange story, an issue written and drawn by Carl Potts.
I would love a good video on this period. I am reading it! Marshall Roger's made such inspired mystic art ! His storytelling was a mind- blowing model for interpreting complex and surreal scenarios! I am up to #60 - which was one of the few I got years ago. I love Stern. Dan Green drew lovely expressions in #58. This run is In a top 5 with ASM and Thor. I love this mid 70s run, too. Wish we got to see it all! Deep interest in creatively using occult history.
Ahh the Marvel Treasury Editions. I grew up in the 70's and I loved those things. I remember my mother saying "What a $1.50 for a funny book." Haha those were good times.
@@ComicTropes He was referring to the original location of the store across the street from the Empire State Building, which is one block over from Koreatown (31st & 32nd between Broadway & 5th). JHU was my go-to store for years before they moved again (from the location in your video) further to the east side of Manhattan. I still love those guys, but can't make it out there from the suburbs anymore. Dan Slott is a big supporter of the store. Thanks for including it in your video!
Doctor Strange vol. 2 #34 was the first issue of his comic that I bought. It was just a fill-in issue written by Ralph Macchio, but the artwork by Tom Sutton and P. Craig Russell is wonderful. I also second What Is It That Disturbs You, Stephen, which is another P. Craig Russell tour de force.
He doesn't say that they're dressed appropriately. He says that they "appear" to be dressed appropriately (to the people in the past). Apparently it's something the time travel spell does.
I don't know what it is, but science fiction comic books were common, and cheap in my area when you went to old book stores, and other places. I could never understand why they weren't being written anymore, and why anyone would read super hero comic books.Then bam, all the comic books vanished. I'm assuming the collectors bought them up. I wish I had kept the one I had.
12:12 BF was a total lady's man in reality. There's these trips to Europe you could look up, wher he'd charm them out of their corsets and raise $ for the revolution. then there's this hellfire club stuff, total player.
Actually though it's a good and attractive tagline it is false here are a couple things: 1. The Comment of Dr. Strange clothes is a reference to previous issue where he cast a Spell that what ever time he'll have clothes that is from that time. That is why later the clothes is different, it only looks different. 2. Sty like St-eye and Gyro like Gyroscopes so St-eye-G-eye-row 3. You said that the disappearance was never explained but it is explained in Issue 19 that it was all an illusion by Stygyro who was actually the Ancient One. 4. Clea and Franklin never actually been in any kind of relationship. Once Strange comes out of the boat and sees that everyone is missing that is when the Ancient One's test begins and everything after is a fake. Clea and Ben went about their way and history proceeded as naturally then once Strange was done he popped back in history to meet with the real Ben and Clea.
The part about Dr strange's girlfriend complaining that he doesn't pay enough attention to her even though he clearly does just shows that Steve Engelhardt was good at writing women.
The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao movie the hydra one of it's faces became face of Dr. Lao. Comics often copied others ideas. Stygro could have created illusion in more than one place to appear to be more than one place at a time. Loki, the Miracle Man, Master Mind and some other characters created illusions.
Did you know that the symbol that you make with the deddos is a praise to the devil and to all his followers ??? ... Now I understand why so much criticism against Jack Chick God's servant ... when the Light appears, your shadows are obscured !!! Is immersed in the deepest spiritual and intellectual darkness ... only the truth of Jesus Christ, can make you truly free, dear, friend !!!

Yeah, this is something that Ben Franklin would've done
Or "someone" . . . .
Yea... I’m pretty sure Ben Franklin did have a reputation as a pimp?
The magic bit at the end of the video is hilarious, thanks for sharing it with us!
Gene Colan's art on Dr Strange along with Daredevil, was great.
Gene Colan *RIP* Steve Dicto *RIP*
RIP Steve Ditko
Colan/Palmer. One of the best working teams in comics ever.
Man I'm a huge fan of the channel love what ur doing!

Yes, but that was written by a different writer. So that was a retcon.

When you talked about his catchphrases, I thought a montage of Ron Burgundy doing the same thing would have been great!

That Gene Colan artwork was special. I always felt it was the perfect fit for Doctor Strange comics.

BF strikes me as the kind of guy that cares if his partner Os. Which back then probably automatically made you a ladies man.
Munashiimaru nah in some of the early issues of the farmer’s almanac he addresses this and made it clear that he did not
🌈TheMoreYouKnow!!
Of course he was. 👍. What kinda guy wouldnt ,to my thinking. Everything just balances out. 👍😊
Nah👍 dude👍 you’re 😻wrong👍
Hahahaha - maybe he was just written that way for the sake of the comic book.
what does os mean
Too bad the big Jim Henley's comic store in Koreatown closed down. It was the best story in Manhattan
I'm not sure if I ever visited that one. I really liked it when it was right across the street from the ESB. It was just a nice big store. Wide open.
@@ComicTropes He was referring to the original location of the store across the street from the Empire State Building, which is one block over from Koreatown (31st & 32nd between Broadway & 5th).

Well... Benjamin Franklin was a member of the Hellfire Club of his day.
Sry gyro looks like the sorcerer Micky worked for in Fantasia
hi i just want to say i love your work happy thanksgiving

The karate kid wrote for Doctor strange.?
He doesn't say that they're dressed appropriately. He says that they "appear" to be dressed appropriately (to the people in the past). Apparently it's something the time travel spell does.
In 1976 there was Captain America's Bicentennial Battles and The Mighty Marvel Bicentennial Calendar.
Looks shouldn’t matter that much
Ben’s got it going on
JHU rips, I used to work next door and came in all the time. Best in NYC
Tricks were so fun! Even see Brother Voodoo appear in Dr Strange? Check how His disappearing trick! Hilarious.
If nothing else this channel teaches me the correct pronunciation of the contributors' names. Hey, I never said I wasn't ignorant.
Franklin was very smart and very charismatic. so much lost history
They should have made Benedict Cumberbatch wear the pantyhose of the original costume
You got me with the last one!... Like, where did you go?
Great 4th of July viewing.
Very funny! Chris, you are such a great bloke !
Steve Englehart and Steve Gerber were Marvel's two best writers at that time. Gerber's DEFENDERS is my pick for all time best comic run.
Ben Franklin gave her some of that Cosby juice
One of my favorite Dr. Strange stories is Into Shamballa.
C'mon the 90's run by Roy Thomas was great also. Shame on you for not mentioning it.
I will cover Roy Thomas at some point but personally I'm not a big fan of the 90s Doctor Strange run.
People used to respect intelligence and find it attractive, unfortunately that time has passed...
That looked to me to be Gene Colan art. He often did Marvels darker stories back then. He drew Tomb of Dracula for forever.

Ive never read a comic, I want to start but it seems so overwhelming since there's 1000's of issues of hundreds of characters! Any suggestions?
DM me, I can help some, at least with Marvel
but one thing I can tell you is, you don't *really* need to read it all :P
If it had been StyGyro posing as Franklin, that would have been rape. Marv Wolfman thought that was a better idea?? Yikes!!
18:40 the FTA will onto you buddy. run for your life.
The current run is pretty good.What do you think.
Good to hear. I haven't read it yet but I have the Marvel Unlimited app so I'll check it out soon.
I remember reading this comic book when I was 10.
12:12 BF was a total lady's man in reality. There's these trips to Europe you could look up, wher he'd charm them out of their corsets and raise $ for the revolution. then there's this hellfire club stuff, total player.
You came to NYC and didn't holla at your boy? lol
Great channel.
by the pulsing pencils of Ditko
Dr. Strange is great! ...your magic? Um...not so much!
theajshow Oh it's terrible. Apparently you need more than two or three days to become a magician.
ComicTropes
It’s because you didn’t use enough catchphrases. That’s where all of Strange’s magic comes from.
It's all about the Benjamin's
Englehart eh? Did Mantis defeat Domammu in this run?
Great video
They had Merlin dress similar to Stygyro in a Mighty Thor Story. Did Styrofoam and Gyroscopic inspire his name?
Actually though it's a good and attractive tagline it is false here are a couple things:
1. The Comment of Dr. Strange clothes is a reference to previous issue where he cast a Spell that what ever time he'll have clothes that is from that time. That is why later the clothes is different, it only looks different.

I really like these videos.👍
Hahaha! Halfway through the video I realized this was about Ben Franklin and not Franklin Richards. Super misread.
Its a rigged deck...he made the glasses disapear...thats a quarter....okay buddy , okay
It's not a rigged deck. I could do this with a brand new sealed deck.
@@ComicTropes That was a comment on the guy commenting on your magic trick in the video.
Also, sort of like the American Treasures series, too..
The part about Dr strange's girlfriend complaining that he doesn't pay enough attention to her even though he clearly does just shows that Steve Engelhardt was good at writing women.
Tom Palmer? Strange looks a bit like his take on Dracula.
Steve Englehart was leaving Marvel by inches at that point . . .
The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao movie the hydra one of it's faces became face of Dr. Lao. Comics often copied others ideas. Stygro could have created illusion in more than one place to appear to be more than one place at a time. Loki, the Miracle Man, Master Mind and some other characters created illusions.
Franklin was a horndog!
Steve got fired for cucking Doctor Strange. Marvel Wolfman was pissed
Ben Franklin was a well known womanizer. Cool they played on that
Chris you're like a big fun weirdo and I wanna hang out with you
Dr Who? That's so Strange?
Genes Art was a little too high brow for comics.. brilliant
I wish englehart would finish that story now
I'm pretty sure it is pronounced Stig-Jero.
Nice
magic!
At first I like the doc, but he turn more and more into a magical Tony Stark so pass... He's meh now.
Christ his friends are obnoxious.
JHU!
Ben Franklin?!
Every comic show just has to incorporate the host-guy's face in every single episode or title screen. Sigh.
Its not a catchfrase its a spell,know the Different?One is Magic,one is Someone ranting.....
yeah i am to late,you will never read this.If you read this make a Video over Kentarō Miura Beserk or Metabarons!
Wtf?
