1* DevelopmentGag: In an early story in ''Strange Tales'', a generic character is called "Frau Lieber". Writer Creator/StanLee was born Stanley Lieber; he had assumed a PenName specifically for writing comics [[note]]and short prose stories included with comicbooks[[/note]] and ended up sticking with it.
2* ReferencedBy: [[Music/MarcBolan T. Rex]]'s [[Music/ElectricWarrior "Mambo Sun"]] includes the line "I'm Doctor Strange for you."
3* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
4** Creator/FrankMiller [[https://www.cbr.com/nothing-was-delivered-roger-stern-and-frank-millers-doctor-strange/ was planned]] at one point to collaborate with Creator/RogerStern on a run of the comic, but due to being considered for the comic adaptation of ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'' (a role that eventually went to Creator/HowardChaykin), he bowed out, and Marshall Rogers took over for Miller. Considering how Miller revolutionized ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} (and later, revamped ComicBook/{{Batman}}), and that Roger Stern is considered one of the best writers of Strange in comics, and that Rogers' run with Rogers is well regarded for classic stories like "To Have Loved and Lost" and "The Montessi Formula", one can't help but wonder what Miller's run would've looked like, or if he would have gone and continued as a writer on the character.
5** Creator/WarrenEllis' run on ''Doctor Strange'' lasted only one issue - Ellis was apparently going to take the character into a less superhero-oriented direction, towards fantasy and horror, but he quit after the editor who handpicked him for the book was replaced by one with a preference for classic-style superhero stories.
