Editing Doctor Strange (section)

===1980s===
Strange met his allies [[Topaz (Marvel Comics)|Topaz]] in #75 (February 1986) and [[Rintrah (comics)|Rintrah]] in #80 (December 1986). The series ended on a cliffhanger as his home, the Sanctum Sanctorum, was heavily damaged during a battle. Among the losses were Doctor Strange's entire collection of mystic books and other important artifacts. As a consequence, Strange was now considerably weaker, and several spells designed to protect humanity from [[vampire]]s and the evil serpent god [[Set (Marvel Comics)|Set]] expired.

The title was discontinued so that the character's adventures could be transferred to another split-book format series. ''Strange Tales'' vol. 2, #1–19 (April 1987–Oct. 1988) was shared with street heroes [[Cloak and Dagger (characters)|Cloak and Dagger]]. This new Doctor Strange series resolved Strange's quest to reclaim his power and missing artifacts, as well as resurrecting the Defenders, who had died in the last issue of that team's title.
