This is a collection of Doctor Strange adventures. I found it at a used book sale put on by The Friends of the Plymouth Library in Minnesota.
Some of them are one-shots staring the Sorcerer Supreme and others appear to be stories of other characters where he appears, such a Spiderman and Hulk.
These are fun reads, but kinda lack-luster. The first one, with the villain Nightmare, feels like the final issue of a longer story, and so its resolution falls flat here. The one with Hulk is a status-quo sort of thing. The one with the reality-eating creatures is better because it has a good set up, execution and resolution. Likewise with the Captain-America one. However, the best one here is the one in Marvel Adventures Super Heroes #9: Contractual Discombobulations. The sight of an evil and unstoppable reality warper forced to obey silly rules is hilarious. The resolution is perfect.
Trickster Eric Novels gives "Marvel Universe Doctor Strange " a C+
