Stuart Moore Returns | Doctor Strange: A Decade of Dark Magic (Marvel Age of Comics)
We welcome back Stuart Moore to discuss his new Marvel Age of Comics book, Doctor Strange: A Decade of Dark Magic. Stuart explores Doctor Strange's first ten years from his 1963 debut through the early '70s, examining how the Steve Ditko/Stan Lee stories' trippy, philosophical approach influenced 1960s counterculture, and how that counterculture in turn shaped the minds of later creators like Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner. We dive into his research on the East Village location of the Sanctum Sanctorum, the succession of writers and artists including Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, Gardner F. Fox, and Marie Severin who expanded on Ditko's mind-bending concepts, and Strange's evolving roles as mystic, super hero, and leader of the Defenders.
