The Amalgam Age of Comics

In 1996 and 1997 DC and Marvel temporarily put aside their differences and released a bunch of titles under the Amalgam Comics banner. The two companies worked together and created crazy, mixed up jumbles of some of their best characters. I've decided to see if I can create some new Amalgam characters using the magic of Photoshop! If you have an unofficial DC/Marvel mash-up that you'd like to see, just let me know!
Doctor Adam Strange was a brilliant surgeon who was involved in a car accident that severely damaged the nerves in his hands, ending his surgical career. Desperate for a way to cure himself Adam turned to magic. After attempting the forbidden Zeta Spell Adam found himself transported to the magical dimension of Rann where he became a student of the Ancient Sorcerer Sardath. Adam soon fell in love with Sardath’s beautiful daughter, Cleanna, but also made an enemy of Sardath’s other student, Kanjar Mordo. Bitter and jealous of his rival, Mordo cursed Adam and made his body reject the mystical energies of the Zeta Spell! Adam found he could return to Rann but could only remain for short periods before the Zeta Spell wore off again. And so DOCTOR ADAM STRANGE finds himself a man of two worlds! An ordinary mortal on our Earth he may be, but when the mystical dimensions align correctly he returns to Rann where he is a champion, a SORCERER SUPREME! Adam Strange is from Who’s Who in the DC Universe #6 (1990) and is by Andy Kubert. Doctor Strange’s cape is from a pin up by Steve Ditko and from Doctor Strangefate #1 (1996). The mystical dimension in the background is by Steve Ditko and is from Strange Tales #138 (1965)
