Steve Englehart went to Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. After a stint in the Army, he moved to New York and began to write for Marvel Comics. That led to long runs on Captain America, The Hulk, The Avengers, Dr. Strange, and a dozen other titles. Midway through that period he moved to California (where he remains), and met and married his wife Terry.
He was finally hired away from Marvel by DC Comics, to be their lead writer and revamp their core characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern). He did, but he also wrote a solo Batman series (immediately dubbed the "definitive" version) that later became Warner Brothers' first Batman film (the good one).
After that he left comics for a time, traveled in Europe for a year, wrote a novel (The Point Man™), and came back to design video games for Atari (E.T., Garfield). But he still liked comics, so he created Coyote™, which within its first year was rated one of America's ten best series. Other projects he owned (Scorpio Rose™, The Djinn™) were mixed with company series (Green Lantern [with Joe Staton], Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four). Meanwhile, he continued his game design for Activision, Electronic Arts, Sega, and Brøderbund.
And once he and Terry had their two sons, Alex and Eric, he naturally told them stories. Rustle's Christmas Adventure was first devised for them. He went on to add a run of mid-grade books to his bibliography, including the DNAgers™ adventure series, and Countdown to Flight, a biography of the Wright brothers selected by NASA as the basis for their school curriculum on the invention of the airplane.
In 1992 Steve was asked to co-create a comics pantheon called the Ultraverse. One of his contributions, The Night Man, became not only a successful comics series, but also a television show. That led to more Hollywood work, including animated series such as Street Fighter, GI Joe, and Team Atlantis for Disney.

even though it’s only the 1st issue of this comic, i’m already hooked. i loved the Alice in Wonderland aesthetic they are going with, i’m excited to see more of it!

This issue started off alright; it had Clea and Strange basking in their love, then a new foe kidnapping Clea (as villains do)! Then what was super interesting was that Dr Strange was on the brink of death! Then things started to get a little freaky when Strange was sucked into the Orb of Agamotto and it became some weird Alice in Wonderland remix! Not saying it wasn't cool, just saying it was a little weird! Anyway, seems like the next issue is going to be interesting!

*English*
My second comic series while diving into Marvel Unlimited app and this issue really did surprised me.
Quite plain at the beginning but a few pages later... 0 to 100 km/h! It’s catchy and stressing that feeling of Silver Dagger coming closer to Doctor Strange and then being swallowed by the Orb...
However what I enjoined the most was the caterpillar, that was bringing back Alice in Wonderland to the stardom. A little spicy, humour and attractive. The only thing that didn’t work for me was the sensation of some forced speeches and expressions of the doc, as they don’t expressed accurately his desperate feelings. Still I’ll keep reading to understand why Silver Dagger kidnapped Clea and why he knew Doc’s magical defended that well.

Es mi segunda serie mientras exploro Marvel Unlimited app y este número de verdad que me sorprendió.
Un poco plano al principio pero pocas páginas después... esto fue de 0 a 100 km/h! Es imposible parar y te invade la ansiedad al ver cómo se acerca cada vez más Silver Dagger a Doctor Strange y como este ese absorbido por el orbe...
El personaje de la oruga lo disfruté muchísimo, eso era traer a Alice en el País de las Maravillas de vuelta al estrellato. Un poco de picante, humor y atractiva.
Lo único que no función para mi fueron algunas de las frases de Doc, me parecen un poco forzadas o no logran enfrascar todo los sentimientos desesperados del hechicero. Aún así, seguiré leyendo ora entender porqué Silver Dagger secuestró a Clea y porqué conoce tan bien las defensas de la fortaleza de Doc.

Strange is the right word to describe this issue...they must have been high while watching Alice in wonderland to come up with this.

I received this graphic novel after viewing the newly released Dr. Strange movie featuring Benedict Cumberbatch. The graphic novel was nothing like the movie, thank God! It seems Dr. Strange in this comic is no longer associated with "Team Good", and he becomes trapped while his lover is kidnapped. Not a fan of this series!
Graphics are okay! Plot is disjointed to me, especially since this is issue #1?!?
