Cover shows sharp corners and clean, unworn edges with no visible spine stress or ticks. Colors appear vibrant with no fading or staining evident. The comic is in a protective sleeve which shows some light glare/reflections but no creasing or tears are visible on the cover surface. Grade is capped conservatively since only the front cover is visible and interior/back cover condition cannot be assessed.

// Archive commentary
Doctor Strange #4 (May 1999) closes the four-issue limited series that brought the Sorcerer Supreme into Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti's Marvel Knights imprint. Scripted by Dan Jolley from a story developed with Tony Harris, the arc casts Strange as an occult investigator tracking spontaneous combustions and mystic thefts back to Dormammu. Harris supplied the painted covers, which form a connecting image across the run, while Paul Chadwick penciled the interiors of the later chapters over Palmiotti and Ray Snyder inks, with color by Chris Sotomayor. It contains no first appearances or origin material; its interest lies in the creative lineup and in the imprint's early, horror-inflected reworking of the character.
