Yes, i ship worldwide!  Yesssss, I have awesome feedback.  Yes, this lower grade set of the first 19 issues of the Dr. Strange saga is now available from "oldcomix".  This is the perfect gift for that overseas collector who doesnt have the time to get them one by one.  I should have another, better condition, set in the coming months so just ask.  The new film is bound to get these books super hot in the months to come.
This run of Strange Tales comics are all lower grade issues as I am slowly improving and picking my collection apart.  The books all have flaws, but they look really nice as a group.  I've checked them all and there is no restoration, no tape, no glue, no retouches.  With the #110 fetching roughly $1000 in 2.0 these days, you get the entire first 2 years at a reasonable price.
Here's what you'll get in this lot:
#110.  First appearance of Dr. Strange.  I'd give this a 1.8 to 2.0.  Front cover has erasure lines across it.  Lies flat, slight rust, some staining, well read copy.  Off-white pages.  There are some pieces out in the centerfold section of the book, but the first Ditko 5-page Dr. Strange story is fully intact with good color and register.  See the photo of the splash at the end of this ad.#111.  First appearance of Baron Mordo, second Dr. Strange.  Another 2.0 book.  Inside cover has foxing, folds on cover were made when it was young, then it sat in a box for decades.  Stain along spine, but it only appears on the back cover.  Off-white pages.  The #111 issue seems to be harder to get in decent shape than the former.  I'd buy a 9.2 if I could get it but there aren't very many.#112.  No Dr. Strange.  2.0 grade.  Typical Atlas backup story by Ditko.#113.  No Dr. Strange.  3.5 grade.  Typical Atlas backup story by Ditko.#114.  Third Dr. Strange.  Instead of plowing through the story and whipping the art out as fast as he could, Ditko takes his time in this issue since Stan Lee gave him control as the regular back-up to the book.  The #114 is famous in the Marvel Universe as it's also the only tryout issue for the silver age Captain America by Jack Kirby, which became a staple a few months later with Avengers #4.  This copy has spine tears and is no more than a Fair 1.0 grade.  I think the book is one of the most key silver age Marvel books ever made and it is vastly underrated in price.#115.  3.0 grade book.  Dr. Strange origin.  We have heard that the film will follow the origin story quite faithfully, and this issue is it!!!  Wear and tears drag it down to good plus 3.0 grade.  See the photo of the splash.#116.  4.5 to 5.0 grade book.  First 8 page Dr. Strange story.  Well done, detailed Ditko artwork.#117.  3.5 to 4.0 grade book.#118.  3.0 grade book.  First few pages have production tears at the bottom with pieces out: Dr. Strange story (8 pages again) is not affected by this flaw.  First Dr. Strange on cover.  Marvel was cutting costs on printing in 1961-1964.  DC was quite better at the time.#119.  4.0 grade book.#120.  4.0 grade book with good color.  Kirby is back on the Torch strip since X-Men is featured, and you get 14 pages of that awesomeness plus a 9 page Ditko Dr. Strange story, the longest to date.#121.  A 3.5 book, this has the second cover appearance of Dr. Strange.  Nine page Mordo story.#122.  A 3.0 book.  Another 9 page story by Ditko.#123.  Dr Strange meets Thor: first team up with another Marvel character.  This is a 4.5 to 5.0 grade copy.  First "shared" cover with the Torch.  Art not inked by Ditko.#124.  A 4.0 grade copy.  Dr. Strange meets Cleopatra.#125.  A 4.5 grade book.  Dr. Strange finally gets a 10-page story in this issue, battling Mordo.#126.  A 2.0 grade copy.  10 pages of psychedelic art all by Ditko where he meets up with Dormammu and Clea.  Will they be in the film?  Probably.  This book is selling at higher prices than #115, which is an injustice in my view.  The story ends in ish #127, making for a 20 page Dr. Strange epic!!!  So the two books ought to be together in one.  See the photo of the splash.#127.  A 3.0 to 3.5 grade book.  End of the Dormammu and Clea epic.  10 pages all by Ditko.#128.  A 4.5 to 5.0 grade copy.  Book has Dr. Strange pin-up in centerfold.  Ditko goes all out in this issue.  Awesome 10 page story.#129.  5.0 grade copy.  Another villain introduced with pure Ditko art.  He really was drawing better stuff for this feature than in Spiderman.#130.  A nice 5.5 grade copy from March 1965.  Mordo battles and defeats Strange.  First cover without Torch shown (finally) even though they meet (yawn) the Beatles.
