As I’ve noted in the last post of 2013, I’ve been less than
enthusiastic about my DOCTOR STRANGE interests/habit/mania/obsession/fix as
Marvel has not been treating the character well at all, and instead, while watching-and-waiting to see how Strange is treated in each month's new comics, have been
focusing on RE-discovering my love for DOCTOR WHO.
More often than not, while I’m totally exhausted from my
current job, when I come home and pour myself into bed, the last thing that I
have energy for is to type out blog entries (even though I DO have the desire).
What I DO have energy to do is watch old episodes of DOCTOR WHO – or – peruse
other media appearances of THE DOCTOR.
Well, wouldn’t you know that when you cross the 4th
Dimension of Time, and the dimensional doorways of Space are ajar, there’s a
good chance that OTHER dimensions may be traversed as well.
So, when I was reading some of the Doctor Who Comic strips
from Doctor Who Magazine (and other sources), I wasn’t the least bit surprised
to see that an alternate Dimensional interpretation of a certain STRANGE Doctor
making an appearance.
(right click to make bigger on the inside)
Seen taking in some culture at an art museum (where the 9th
DOCTOR and ROSE [Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper] have just materialized
in the TARDIS, we see a familiar looking cloak of levitation being worn by some
slug-like creature.
Perhaps, it’s NOT “Doctor Strange”, but perhaps it’s another
“Sorcerer Supreme” in possession of the Cloak of Levitation (or, since neither TIME
nor SPACE are hindering factors when dealing with either Doctor Who or Doctor
Strange, then this might be Agamotto [the FIRST Sorcerer Supreme himself, who
also frequently appears as such a caterpillar], or the Sorcerer Supreme of the
37th Century (wherein this story takes place, in an pan-dimensional
gallery) resplendent in the cloak.
Either way, this page from DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE # 358,
featuring a story; “ART ATTACK” with story and pencils by Mike Collins, shows
that perhaps other people aside from myself feel that these two Doctors should
have a meeting.
So, as STRANGE as it
is, WHO’s to say that my two current interests are mutually exclusive of each
other?
Certainly not either DOCTOR.
ah ha ha, I see what you did there at the end. very nice
ReplyDeleteAnd it's the traditional Cloak of Levitation! Yay! Not the gold lining exclusively along the edges. Collar isn't as pointy but that's ok. I think Slug #2 looks like he's wearing one too. So maybe it is Agamotto taking Stephen on a field trip?
ReplyDeleteHmmm- it's like... Cronenberg-Stephen.
ReplyDeleteThe strange little ties between these characters is so odd, isn't it?
