Being a yuropoor, I never grew up with Marvel or DC, and never really took interest in their stuff before now. I've read some about Doctor Strange, and it all sounds bretty good, but I have no fucking idea of where to start. Any recommendations?

Strange Tales #110
I'm serious.
>>
>>82421969
For a basic, simple introduction, I would absolutely recommend the first couple of Lee/Ditko stories. They are seriously some of the best from that era.

After that, Dr Strange & Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment and Dr Strange: The Oath are the most common recommendations. There was a recent New Avengers Annual that was pretty great.
>>
Triumph and Torment is the pinnacle of Doctor Strange in my opinion, and has the best telling if his origin. The original Lee/Ditko stories are great too, but they're mostly printed in black and white

Ditko's original run and Englehart's later stuff is GOAT.

Ditko: Strange Tales #110–111, 114–146

Englehart: Marvel Premiere #9 - 14, Doctor Strange V2 #1 - 18

Why do you want to start Dr. Strange?

Because movie?

Mysticism has always been a big interest of mine, and Dormammu looks cool.

Do you know his appearances in Ditko's other Marvel works? Notably Spider-Man

>>82423739

/tv/ you may be surprised to learn that /co/ often has recommendation threads for comics as helping people find what good stories exist for characters is the only way we can breathe life into our dying medium.

Besides Triumph & Torment, Englehart's run and Lee/Ditko's run that were already suggested, I would also recommend Roger Stern's run in Dr. Strange: Master of Mystic Arts. Given he is the same author of Triumph & Torment, it should tell you it is a really good run.

Plus check Into Shamballa.
>>
>>82425807

Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2 is his only major guess appearance drawn by Ditko IIRC. It's essentially Spidey guest starring in a Strange story.

They actually include it in the Doctor Strange Marvel Masterworks volume which was really cool.
>>
>>82423548

The Oath is a decent intro to the character.

Would you happen to have a download link to colored Ditko reprints?

Strange has gone thought a lot of phases.
This is where he watched too much Dragonball and tried to become Satan.

In the 90's he tried to be Ozzy Osborn.

Not that anon, and I don't think it includes the Ditko run, but there is this:
