Roger Stern's run on DOCTOR STRANGE began with the introduction of Morgana (one N, not two) Blessing, who eventually became Stephen Strange's girlfriend. Roger Stern himself explains:
"Morgana Blessing was the sort of woman that Doc would have had a relationship with, in his previous career as a high-priced surgeon. She was the Earthly love, in contrast with the ethereal, extradimensional Clea. All the regular readers loved Clea, of course, but the relationship she and Doc had was not exactly an enlightened one. If Clea had just been Docs lover that would have been okay, but shed also become his student, his disciple. It was a case of I love you, Clea. And I love you, Master. And not in a sweet, innocent, I Dream of Jeanie way, either. Not a healthy relationship, not healthy at all."
The first meeting, and a panel from the ILLUMINATI miniseries after the cut.

Hyper-religious villains: Silver Dagger
Jan. 26th, 2010 12:20 amThe Superman/Destiny post mentioned using "the church as villains" in superhero comics. So I'm posting some pages featuring Silver Dagger, a Dr. Strange villain who used to be part of the Vatican. Steven Gerber wrote this story, so references/homages to H.P. Lovecraft abound. Frank Brunner and Dick Giordano did the art.

Clea ponders Corazon Aquino
Aug. 9th, 2009 02:26 pmThe recent death of former Philippines President Corazon Aquino got me thinking of a line from MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS #20, when Clea finds ruling the Dark Dimension can be a hassle.
