After Stan Lee's Death, Fans Reminisce About The Time He Was Interviewed By Marc Bolan of T-Rex In 1975

"On a mountain range, I'm Doctor Strange for you."

"I'd like to write some comics for Marvel. I've actually got a book of Science Fiction stories coming out soon, there's a couple of superheroes in it. One's a God from another planet. These super-heroes aren't really like your's, but they could be. Stan was very into the idea of my doing this. We talked about the possibility of me creating a superhero for him. Something along the lines of Electric Warrior, a twenty-first century Conan. In fact, I don't like Conan as a character—I think he should be something less of a barbarian, more like one of Michael Moorcock's characters. You could make a much better composite character using Moorcock's Elric, with a bit of the Silver Surfer, a bit of Thor, and create a far more involved character, a character more in touch with now."

"There was the Silver Surfer in 'Teenage Dream', and Doctor Strange has been in one. My new album, Futuristic Dragon has a spoken introduction which sounds very much like the intro to a Doctor Strange story—lyrically it's very much like that. Have you seen the cover of Futuristic Dragon? It's rather like one of your comic covers."

But what of Marc Bolan's actual meeting and interview with Stan Lee, and how did the T-Rex singer feel about him personally? Apparently, he found him exactly what he had expected.

"It was nice meeting Stan last year, he was lovely to interview. Really he's a hustler, a solid gold easy hustler! That's just the way comic guys should be, he's got such a lot of energy."
