When you look at vintage pajama shots, you see a lot of staples, Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and Hulk are the biggies. Rarely do you see a B-List hero in the lot (please no hate mail) such as Doctor Stephen Strange. Doc never got much respect in the way of merch as a kid, as far as I can tell he only got a Halloween Costume and a jiggler. As a comic loving kid, I was aware of the character but never read a comic of his until my teens.
OMG, can I just say how much I LOVE those muscle car pajama tops?! I would totally love to have one — preferably the GTO (how did Honda manage to get in there?). I would wear that pajama top out to the movies, that’s how awesome I think they are.
Dr Strange does seem a strange choice for kiddie pajamas. I read his comics now and then, but mostly knew him from The Defenders.
He did get his own 1-shot TV movie in the late '70s. I remember being bored to tears by it. Maybe these PJ's were made to cash in on the TV exposure that Doc, like Spidey & Hulk, was getting.
i watched the Dr Strange TV movie up in my parent’s bedroom while they–and the rest of the country–were watching Roots.
by the hoary hosts of hoggoth, what did CBS’ programmers have against Dr Strange?
