Reader Lierson M. wrote in to ask:

Let's see if you can help me, there's a Dr. Strange story, I can't recall if it was published in Dr Strange, or who is the creative tema, but the story revolved around a guy which used noises and sounds as part of a show, (one of the highlights was a guy from the audience running towards him, he screamed "TOH" and the running guy fell - that got stuck in my mind), and he worked with his daughter (or wife). The girl is raped and/or killed, the guy finds who did it and tries to kill the kid, and Dr. Strange tries to stop him. Don't remember how it ended.

The book in question in 1984's Doctor Strange #63, a fill-in issue written and drawn by Carl Potts.

Doctor Strange is investigating a man who can apparently manipulate sound itself as a weapon. He has a stage show with his daughter...

Here is the notable "TOH!" scene Lierson mentioned...

The man can also use sound to HEAL people...

Tragically, his daughter is then raped and eventually dies from her injuries. He heads out to murder her killer and Strange tries to stop him...

His sound powers can even crack Strange's mystical shields!

Eventually, though, Strange finds a way to reason with him and convince him to let the authorities to deal with the rapist/murderer (who happens to be a young man that Strange had saved from some attackers earlier in the issue)...

Tragically, the man then got off on diplomatic immunity...

Wow, what a dark issue.

There ya go, Lierson!

Okay, that's it for this installment of the Great Comic Book Detectives! If anyone else has a story that they'd like me to track down, drop me a line at brianc@cbr.com!
