still a keep): As I have seen more of these AfDs and other contributors, I realize I took the wrong approach with my last comment.  I still plan to add detail to the section, but for now, it's more important to show that the sources  regardless of their inclusion in the article, and I'll polish it over time.  (Thanks, {{ping|Girth Summit|Pontificalibus}} for opening my eyes to this fact in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Honeymooners (2003)|this AfD and multiple ''It'' AfDs, respectively.) 1. Eternity's introduction, namely the surreal imagery and concept of personifying abstract concepts is responsible for including "The Eternity Saga" in multiple lists of Top Doctor Strange stories to read: https://www.howtolovecomics.com/2016/11/01/doctor-strange-stories-should-read/, https://screenrant.com/best-doctor-strange-marvel-comics-read-before-movie/; and in the top comic storylines to read https://www.cbr.com/comic-book-top-storylines-90-81/. (Yes, they're Top X lists, but they won't stand alone.) 2. {{cite book |last1=Jeffery |first1=Scott |chapter=The Cosmic Body |title=The Posthuman Body in Superhero Comics |date=2016 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |series=Palgrave Studies in Comics and Graphic Novels |location=New York |isbn=978-1-137-57822-8 |doi=10.1057/978-1-137-54950-1_5}} This points out the unique concept of the character Eternity at the time. I requested my library get this after finding it on Scholar. Eternity is one of Ditko's works that impacted Starlin and Englehart.3. Another book discusses him as a truly great concept of the time https://books.google.com/books?id=IdBKWlp7LR8C&pg=PA135&dq=%22Eternity%22#v=onepage&q=%22Eternity%22&f=false (no, this ref is not )4. Bell, B. (2008). Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko. Fantagraphics Books. - This book also discusses the unique creation of Eternity, and Jim Starlin comments on how there was no character similar to him at the time, including Kirby's creations, and how it inspired some of his cosmic work on things like ''Captain Marvel'' and ''Warlock''.4. Eternity is central in Marvel's 80th anniversary celebration and ''Marvel Comics'' #1000, where the Eternity Mask is part of his being and it has influenced Marvel Universe events for a long time. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/10/02/eternity-mask-connective-tissue-marvel-comics1000-1001-incoming/ https://www.newsarama.com/46008-al-ewing-marvel-comics-1000-eternity-mask.htmlThat's about it for now, but I have several book requests at the library, and it's more than enough to satisfy the GNG.  I'm putting them in messily just so they're there, and even  won't apply, but section is under construction
