![]() ![]() Knowing that she could no longer write any novels, the elderly Christie authorised Curtain's removal from the vault and subsequent publication. The final Poirot novel that Christie wrote, Elephants Can Remember, was published in 1972, followed by Christie's last novel, Postern of Fate. Partly fearing for her own survival, and partly wanting to have a fitting end to Poirot's series of novels, Christie had the novel locked away in a bank vault for over thirty years. The novel also returns the characters to the setting of Christie's first published work, The Mysterious Affair at Styles.Ĭhristie wrote the novel in the early 1940s, during World War II. The novel features Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings (who had not appeared together since Dumb Witness in 1937) in their final appearances in Christie's works. Curtain: Poirot's Last Case is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in September 1975 and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company in the same year, probably also in September. ![]()

Odd activity taking place on another plane, unseen by the common man, but seen by one such as the Sorcerer Supreme. After those introductory heroics, Strange observes odd activity all over the city as he makes his way back to his Sanctum Sanctorum. After an opening page that brings us up to speed on Doctor Strange's history against a backdrop of classic Doctor Strange panels, we're thrown headlong into the crazy, organized chaos that is Bachalo's pencils (along with equally crazy words from Aaron) of a battle taking place on the ectoplasmic plane in a young boy's soulscape while Strange levitates in meditation nearby.
