Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #60

Published in December 1993, Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #60 arrived during a period of transition for Marvel Comics' supernatural corner. As part of the long-running series that began in 1988, this issue was helmed by writer David Quinn and artist Peter Gross. The narrative was deeply embedded in the complex, gothic tone of the 90s Marvel era, focusing on the character's ongoing struggles with his role as the Sorcerer Supreme amidst the shifting editorial landscape of the decade.

The cover and interior art by Peter Gross reflect a stylistic shift toward the darker, more detailed aesthetic prevalent in early 90s fantasy comics. Gross sought to emphasize the eerie and mystical elements of Stephen Strange's world, moving away from the more psychedelic influences of the 1960s and 70s to favor a grittier, contemporary supernatural look. While the issue served as a standard entry in the series' later years, it remains a notable example of the collaboration between Quinn and Gross in maintaining the character's atmospheric consistency during that period.
