Valentine's Day: Stephen and Morganna and Clea

[starwolf_oakley]

A repost about Stephen Strange and Morganna Blessing and Clea.

"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 Doc's lover that would have been okay, but she'd 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." - Roger Stern

Next to Dr. Strange is Sara Wolfe. Not Katma Tui. Sara is an American Indian in a 1980s comic, explaining the confusion.






I *hope* Strange knew the bank had bulletproof windows. Otherwise it looks like he just didn't care about the bullets flying out of the windows.

Hey, there's Morgana!



OK. So Stephen only wanted the robbers to see his astral form, but Morgana did as well. And for some reason walked right into the bank seconds after gunfire.

The next issue, #49, has Morgana calling Stephen up on the phone. Baron Mordo eavesdrops from another dimension, as magicians can do.










As I've posted earlier http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/1022845.html?#cutid1 , Mordo kills Morgana's cat and disguises himself as the cat in her bag.

Here, in DR. STRANGE #50, Morgana meets Strange's friends.



Morgana meets Clea. Girls, you're both pretty!







Stern has a point: Clea being Strange's girlfriend is one thing. Being his student amps the squick factor if she calls him "master."



"Ha ha! You let me right into your Sanctum Sanctorum!"

Here are two more pages from DR. STRANGE #50, where a little time traveling allow Strange and Morgana to meet Nick Fury and Dum-Dum Dugan circa 1940.





Closest shave ever!

What on earth is happening with Clea's hair?

[bruinsfan]

It's not as if weirdness with her hair was some new thing invented by Rogers & Austin. Witness Clea's first appearance as drawn by Ditko

Wow! That's shi'ar level of weirdness!

And while they were firing at Stephen's ghostly form, their bullets went through the window and killed a dozen bystanders. Ooops.
