Title: Nightmare!

Characters: Dr. Strange; Yandroth [Scientist Supreme]; Victoria Bentley (cameo)

Synopsis: Hurling thru the void of space, Strange sees a vision of Victoria Bentley, surrounded by machinery. So he's taken back when he lands on a jungle planet inhabited by savage, monstrous creatures. Then, he finds an underground cavern, and inside it, an elaborate machine, from which emits a mental challenge. Yandroth, Scientist Supreme, claims to have unlocked the "inner-most secrets of the cosmos", and intends to make Victoria his queen-- to rule many planets, including, eventually, Earth. Strange refuses to depart, and realizes a challenge of science vs. magic awaits him...

Title: The Mystic and the Machine!

Characters: Dr. Strange; Yandroth; Victoria Bentley; Voltorg

Synopsis: Strange continues thru the underground tunnel until he comes to a large set of doors. Upon getting them open, he finds a "Disintegrator" ray is waiting for him. After he takes it out with the "Flames of Faltine", Yandroth realizes his magic is more "potent" than he "calculated", and uses an "Ultra-Spectrum Laser" to incinerate Strange's brain! But as Yandroth gloats to the imprisoned Victoria, he doesn't realize that Strange is not dead, but has mentally left his body. Things soon come down to a running fist-fight, until Yandroth summons "Voltorr"-- a large lightning-wielding robot!

Title: Nothing Can Halt... Voltorg!

Characters: Yandroth; Voltorg; Dr. Strange; Victoria Bentley; The Ancient One (cameo)

Synopsis: A running battle ensues between Strange and the lightning-hurling Voltorg, which nearly destroys Yandroth's lab before Strange finally takes it out. Yandroth grabs Victoria and uses a "Teleportation" machine to instantly send the two of them to a far-distant world. Strange tries to alter the destination setting so they'll end up on Earth, then follows, winding up in Stonehenge, the very place where his mentor apparently met his demise. But suddenly, a vision of the Ancient One appears before him, leaving Strange wondering if his master lives again, or if it's some "evil phantasm"...

Title: Exile!

Characters: Dr. Strange; Yandroth; Victoria Bentley; Ancient One

Synopsis: Yandroth's shot sends Strange plunging into the abyss, but the Ancient One uses the "Trans-Hypnotic Jewel" to arrest his fall. Strange uses his Cloak of Levitation to grab Yandroth, but sees the Viking women about to kill Victoria. To save her, he releases his grip on Yandroth, sending him plummeting "endlessly" through the Dimension of Dreams, where he will eventually become nothing more than a dream himself. Banishing the phantoms, Strange whisks Victoria back to Earth at last, where the memory of her ordeal will soon fade.
