Synopsis:
In "Meet the Beatles!", the Human Torch and the Thing take their girlfriends to a Beatles concert in Manhattan, only to foil a robbery while the girls get to meet the Fab Four backstage. In "The Defeat of Doctor Strange", Baron Mordo — mysteriously empowered by Dormammu — overwhelms Doctor Strange and forces him to flee with the injured Ancient One, ending on a cliffhanger that launches one of Marvel's longest early villain sagas. Written by Stan Lee and Bob Powell; cover by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone; interior art by Bob Powell, Steve Ditko, and Chic Stone.
