i just noticed on Wikipedia that you did a Doctor Strange story with Frazer Irving. Have you talked about that at some point in the past?

Hmm... there's probably some interview out there somewhere, but couldn't place it.

It was part of the black and white 70s-style single issues they were doing. Basically double-sized, with one normal-comic sized story, a couple of shorter ones and a text piece. It was called THE MYSTIC HANDS OF DOCTOR STRANGE.

Our story was called THE CURE, and was basically me writing a story inspired by THE SOCIALIST PATIENTS COLLECTIVE and faust. It's inserted into the timeline between Strange issues - if you know the continuity, you can see exactly where it is - and I wanted to basically make it feel redolent of the concerns of the period. Doing German Terrorism appealed, not least because of my terrible love for Luke Haines.

Frazer is one of the men born to draw Doctor Strange comics. His Mephisto was incredible.

I'll dig out some images online and post them, I think. I don't think any of the money shots are easily found, but a quick google reveals some lovely stuff.

1. Old Loki who is dead and not in the Book Of Hel and so gone forever(ish), 2. Kid Loki who was different and is gone :(, 3. New Loki who was Ikol, who started out as a copy/backup of Old Loki, but who's consciousness has been informed by the experiences of Kid Loki, so he's basically a mashup of the two, and clearly having too many voices in his head because of it all, especially when some become tangible and autonomous. does that make sense?

That would be correct!
