Marc Bolan of T-Rex interviews Marvel's Stan Lee in 1975

[@ayshajajaja]

0:57 Marc's laugh is the cutest!

[@93seronica]

I wish Marc was still around to have watched the Marvel Dr Strange movies

[@JordanJ1263]

RIP,, two great heroes chilling in the fields above Earth.

[@i-playdead]

Two of some of my favorite people in one interview awesome!!!

[@clockwork914]

FANTASTIC! Thanks so much😀🏄🎸✨

[@clockwork914]

How lovely to revisit this video. I totally forgot. It’s like I just now learned that the Silver Surfer was Marc’s favorite even though he is mentioned in Wind Quartets and Teenage Dream❕

[@jesegel]

This is freaking amazing! Wow!

[@misterX1964]

Great find ! Amazing piece of history !

[@TimBurVlogs]

fun interview. RIP Stan.

David Bowie's wife playing Black Widow on a 1975 BBC series??? A bit sad that didn't happen.

[@albertthorp19]

I cannot believe that i am the only one commenting on this video. stan is the man who gave the marvel universe a personality. he did have the power and grace of jack kirby or the magic and wonder of steve ditko but he did have a talent for writing about real people.

The Silver Surfer mentioned in the lyrics of Teenage Dream, T. Rex

[@MattHawes]

Yep, and in "Mambo Sun" Dr. Strange is mentioned. T-Rex also had a song, "The Avengers (Super Bad)", but I am not sure if it's a reference to the comic book team, the British TV show, or something else. Considering he was a comic book fan who made those other lyrical nods to comic book characters, I'd like to believe that song is based on the comic.

[@nileswillis7992]

The Silver Surfer was his "main man."

[@ATMFC]

The Today Show was an ITV TV show, not to be confused with the BBC's Radio show of the same name.

[@MattHawes]

Whoops! Thanks for the correction.

[@nileswillis7992]

Stan was the face of Marvel. But Jack was the machine. Without Kirby, Marvel would never have reached the heights that it did.

[@sampoernaquatrain1710]

Another good question is, why is ROY WOOD there? If you aren't familiar with him, you should be!

[@ATMFC]

The photo of Marc, Stan and Roy was taken at the studio's of Thames TV's Today show on October 20th 1975 as Marc interviewed them both that day for the programme.

[@magazinekitchen]

@@ATMFC Does any more of this or the Roy Wood interview exist, and if so, where does one find it online?

[@markw110]

Wizzard's first album may be my favorite "glam rock" album.

[@bluespaceman7937]

Very interesting.

[@lestoil]

"I created The Silver-Surfer--in conjunction with the artist Jack Kirby"......"I looked at the pages and said 'Who's that guy on the surfboard??"". Stan, can you say "Contradiction?". Stan never created ANYthing in his life other than that false claim that he created the Marvel Universe. It was all created by the artists/creators--mainly Kirby.

[@vollsticks]

I feel like all the people who shill for Stan Lee should read Marvel: The Untold Story by Sean Howe. He played a role undoubtedly but it has been favourably distorted out of all proportions by years of panegyrics, hagiographies and not least Lee's huge talent for self-mythologising and self-promotion.

[@erikrupp692]

Funny thing, but Jack was never anywhere NEAR as successful without Stan as he was with Stan. Stan came up with ideas and concepts, Jack (and Steve Ditko) turned those concepts into concrete reality. The Silver Surfer became something better because of the way Stan wrote his dialogue and the backstory that Stan dreamed up for him. Stan took Jack's ideas and made them better. But Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the Hulk were Stan's ideas, given form and detail by Jack and Steve.

[@pinkflame7237]

It made my blood boil to hear that, Jack Kirby was a lot more than "the artist". It's a shame Jack couldn't have lived long enough to cameo in all the great Marvel movies that have came out in the last twenty years.

[@LanceAnderson77]

You have no idea what you’re talking about. None. It’s becoming clearer and clearer that Stan was little more than a dialogue writer and carnival barker, albeit a talented one. Jack Kirby was creating successful characters like oh, CAPTAIN AMERICA when Stan Lee was hitting puberty. And he continued creating characters AFTER leaving Marvel for decades. What did Stan create? Striperella? 😂😂😂

[@LenCat1]

I wonder how many of the other Marvel characters Stan "created" in this way??
