In 1970 Stan Lee sat down with New York Magazine's Lindsy and Lawrence Van Gelder on WNYC to talk about his super heroes as real people in a real world with real world problems, super powers aside. Contemporary issues and problems figure prominently in the Marvel Comic stories and Lee talks about women's movement and possibility of women super heroes getting their own series. Responding to the age-old question about their negative influence, he says it's no longer an issue today and that comics today are a public service. He also argues that 'there is far more liberalism in children's books today than in comics.'
