Issue Description
The Human Torch has the power to create the heat and light of a supernova. So how is it that Plantman is able to douse his flame with nothing but the dew of acorns? Is it something to do with the Plantman's nocturnal visit to the Human Torch's house, when he threw a bucket of water over him - or shall we put this tale down to one of Stan's off days?
We have to rely on the Doctor Strange story to salvage this issue, as the Master of Mystic arts encounters "Witchcraft in the Wax Museum." Can the good Doctor use his powers to overcome the evil that lurks therein? Another tale of mystery wrought by Stan and Steve.

Volume Description
Strange Tales Volume 1
Strange Tales started out as a horror/mystery book, then began introducing giant monsters such as Fin Fang Foom and Orrgo around issue #70. Beginning with issue #101 the Human Torch became the star and faced villains such as the Wizard, Plantman, and Paste-Pot-Pete who made their debuts.
Dr. Strange began co-starring with his debut in issue #110, facing off against villains like Nightmare, Baron Mordo, and Dormammu who all saw their first appearances in this series. With issue #135, Nick Fury returned, splitting the book with Dr. Strange, as an agent of Shield and fought against the Yellow Claw as well as new villains making their first appearances such as AIM, Hydra, including some of the best stories of the Silver Age by Jim Steranko.
The series changed it's name into Doctor Strange Vol.1 with issue 169 while the Nick Fury stories moved to a new title, Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD. Strangely enough, a few years later, the series Strange Tales was continued with another issue 169 in Strange Tales.
