Synopsis for "Shadowqueen!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Doctor Strange (Vol. 2) #43
Continued from last issue... After travelling through a magical mirror to another realm, Dr. Strange is about to executed by an axe wielding member of a band of warriors. The execution is stopped suddenly by Clea, who has been travelling with this group. Unaware that they are all on the same side, Dr. Strange retaliates attacking with mystical bolts until he is stopped by Clea, reunited with his lover he is challenged by the groups leader Bayan, who also shows mystical skill, however when all learn that Strange is an ally with Clea the battle stops.

Clea has spent a week (time passes slower in this realm) since she was captured by by the Lords of the Golden Dragon, worshippers of Shialmar the empress of this realm. She and Wong were taken prisoner and forced through the magic mirror into this realm, however while Wong was taken away to Shialmar, Clea was saved by a band of rebells led by a man named Silver Fox, who hope to overthrow immortal queens rule. With the story explained, Strange agrees to help the rebels overthrow Shialmar and free Wong from captivity.

Meanwhile, in the capital city of Majaedong, the defeated Lords of the Golden Dragon are brought before their master. In punishment for their failure to stop Dr. Strange, she uses her magical powers to transform them into Gargoyles. While outside of the city, Strange and the others sneak their way into Majaedong's prison in a bid to free Wong. When the Sorcerer Supreme is about to free his captive man-servant, they are attacked by Shialmar's gargoyles. During the fight Clea is overpowered, and has to be rescued by Dr. Strange, who manages to keep the creatures at bay long enough for Bayan to open the ground and make the beasts fall in.

Taking Wong back to the rebels camp, Wong explains his implication in this realm: He explains that a thousand years ago, his ancestor Kan was a great warrior and Monk who happened upon the black mirror into the realm of Majaedong. There he would be brought before the royal family ruled by Lord Jehan, his daughter Shialmar and the court wizard Vung. Learning that their realm was ruled by Wizard Kings that enslaved them all. Wong pauses his story to tell them that his ancestor would be the realms saviour. Unknown to all, Shialmar is mystically spying on them and is plotting to get revenge on Wong for his ancestors past deeds and her hope to destroy Dr. Strange as well.

This story is continued next issue...

Synopsis for "Tales of Asgard: Heimdall the Guardian of the Rainbow Bridge!"

Reprint of the 2nd story from
Journey Into Mystery #104
Quote1 Too long has the Rainbow Bridge remained unguarded! Too many times have our enemies attacked Asgard by crosing its shimmering brilliance! The bridge needs a sentry! And that is why I have decided to appoint a guardian of the Rainbow Bridge! I have selected three warriors--and now I shall choose one of you! Quote2
—Odin

This is the story of how Heimdall came to be the guardian of Bifrost the rainbow bridge. Odin holds a sort of try-out, summoning Heimdall and two other worthy candidates. Agnar the Fierce is the first, and offers himself as having the mightiest chest, the strongest lungs, and that none but he has the power to sound the horn warning, Gjallahorn. As he demonstrates this ability, the "roar reaches to infinity." The second is Gotron the Agile, who claims that his deeds speak for themselves, and that he wass nimble enough to defeat seven frost giants at once, when they attacked Asgard "only last year."

The last is Heimdall The Faithful, who shows that he has useful abilities other than strength "that is a match for any." He proves this by stepping out into Odin's garden and, by placing his ear on the grass, hears the tiniest plant growing in the heart of a place known as the "Hidden Hills," which was scorched by the fiery breath of a dragon. After Odin dispatches his gardener to verify the tiny new plant just blossoming into life, Heimdall proves himself further. He says that his eyesight is so keen that he "can see across time as well as space!!" He then informs Odin of a "savage band of Storm Giants" marching towards the rainbow bridge, still two days away. Odin then dispatches a heavily-armed war party to meet the Storm Giants. The war party returns in days, with the King of the Storm Giants as prisoner. These demonstrations of abilities and noble character earn Heimdall the position of "Guardian of the Rainbow Bridge - - FOREVER!"
