The First Time I Heard Of Doctor Strange……

…..was in this “rockcomic” album from Buddah Records, which I had at the age of four or so in 1972. It’s called “Spider-Man: From Beyond The Grave.”

It was a full-length album. The album cover folded out into a centerfold comic pictures that matched the album. So you could “read” the story while listening.
