Doctor Strange is best approached as a screen interpretation of the character’s foundations rather than a panel-for-panel adaptation. Start with Strange Tales #110–111, #114–146, then compare it with Doctor Strange: The Oath #1–5. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
