What Does George R.R. Martin Think Of The Marvel Film?
George R.R. Martin has always been a Marvel lover and follower. He took no time to share his review of the recent Marvel blockbuster ‘Doctor Strange 2‘ on his website. The author did not forget to mention some key elements that caught his eyes most from the movie including the inclusion of Clea played by Charlize Theron.
“Sam Raimi has always been one of my favorite directors. And Dr. Strange has always been one of my favorite Marvel characters. And this version of Dr. Strange, slipping through portals into surreal dimensions full of floaty things and alternate realities, was the Doctor I fell in love with, way way way back when world was young (and so was I). They even gave us CLEA! I love Clea!”
When ‘Game Of Thrones’ Writer Met ‘Doctor Strange’ Creator
Martin recalled his experience of attending the first comic book convention of Doctor Strange that ever existed. He also remembered how he got the chance to meet legendary Marvel artist and the man who created Doctor Strange, Steve Ditko, himself.
He wrote, “Seeing this movie brought back a cherished memory, of the day I attended the world’s first comicon, in 1964 in Greenwich Village. I was fifteen years old. The whole con was held in one small room in some sort of union hall, with hucksters selling old comics from cardboard boxes along one wall, and the speakers at a podium in the front. Fabulous Flo Steinberg turned up.. and so did Steve Ditko.”
The renowned author continued, “It might well have been the only comic con he ever attended… but I got to talk to him, and tell him how much I loved his art. Especially on Dr. Strange. Ditko was reserved, maybe a bit shy, but genial enough. He told me that Dr. Strange was his favorite as well. Yes, even more than Spider-Man. He’s still one of the best comic artists who ever picked up a pencil, in my not-so-humble opinion. Anyway… MULTIVERSE woke the sleeping Marvel fanboy in me, and that was a joy. So says a former member of the Merry Marvel Marching Society.”
