This issue is most notable for finally giving a name to Dr. Strange’s house servant. His name is Wong.
We had seen him twice before but without being named. Here he is in #110 and #116.
Here he is in the Dr. Strange film played by Benedict Wong. Is it coincidental that Wong is played by a Wong? A glimpse at Wikipedia tells me that over 7% of people in China have the surname Wong or a variant. So it’s not an astronomical coincidence.
