| Synopsis
| - Two Page Text Piece
- Summoned by Reed Richards to the Baxter Building, the Human Torch is informed that his next mission is to stop the Sandman who has just escaped from prison. Finding the crook, the Torch is told that Sandman will only face Spider-Man, as Spider-Man is the hero who had put him behind bars. The Torch then disguises himself as Spider-Man issues a challenge to the villain to fight him one on one, however the Sandman gets the drop on "Spider-Man" and attacks him from behind. The Torch flames on, burning his imitation Spider-Man suit in the process, and tries to fight Sandman again, and even when doused in water and unable to use his flame powers, the Torch manages to gain the upper hand and defeat Sandman, turning him over to the authorities. The real Spider-Man, who had been making his way towards the scene of the battle does not arrive until the fight is over. Spider-Man expresses relief that the Torch is okay, but he is also worried that the Torch may be a more successful teenage superhero than he is.
- Doctor Stephen Strange is a famous surgeon who works only for money, not caring for his patients nor interested in medical research. An auto accident damages the nerves in his hands severely and he can never perform an operation again. The proud Strange refuses to work for others and ends up on the street. He learns about the healing powers of the Ancient One and travels to his sanctuary in India. The Ancient One refuses to heal Strange because of his selfish motives, however sudden snow forces Strange to remain in the sanctuary until the snow thaws. Here he witnesses the Ancient One's pupil, Baron Mordo, launch magical attacks upon his master. Mordo casts a spell upon Strange to stop him from waring the Ancient One of the attacks' origins. Strange therefore resolves to learn the secrets of black magics to defeat Mordo himself. The Ancient One accepts Strange as his disciple and dispels Mordo's spell which he had known about all along.

| Notes
| - * The Dr. Strange story is reprinted in Origins of Marvel Comics and Doctor Strange Master of the Mystic Arts .
* In this issue, the Torch states that the excess heat in his body, doubles his normal strength. This power helps him defeat the Sandman. If this is a power of the Human Torch, it has diminished or been ignored in his further adventures.
* Page One of Story One states Spider-Man appears in this issue, "By special arrangement with Amazing Spider-Man Magazine".
* This issue contains full-page ads for Amazing Spider-Man #7 and Sgt. Fury #4.
* Father Time appears in the Story II . Whether or not this is the actual Elder of the Universe would remain somewhat speculative.
* A more detailed origin of Doctor Strange is next presented in Doctor Strange #169.
* The other doctors in Strange's origin are unnamed in this comic. They are given names in the 1979 prose novel Nightmare! by William Rotsler. Ziegler is the doctor who congratulated Strange on a successful operation, and then later offered him a position as his consultant and assistant. Noto is the doctor who informed Strange about the damage to his hands. The other doctors are those who tried to enlist Strange's aid in a charitable cause; Siegel is the one who speaks for the group, while the rest are silent and thus impossible to exactly identify which is which.
* Sandman previously and first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man 4. He will appear next in Amazing Spider-Man Annual 1 where he will join the Sinister Six for the first time.
