Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Eight years before Tobey Maguire was born, the animated Spider-Man spun his first web across America's television screens. The program ran from 1967 through 1970 on ABC, and imprinted its theme song, "Spider-Man, Spider-Man/ Does whatever a spider can / Spins a web, any size / Catches thieves--just like flies" on a generation of viewers.
The comic book Spider-Man, who debuted in Marvel's Amazing Fantasy in 1962, epitomized the superhero as antihero. During his battles with bizarre villains, Peter Parker was beset by self-doubts and personal problems. The animated Spider-Man was a straightforward action superhero who was too busy performing weird stunts like fashioning a boat and motor out of spider webs to worry or agonize.
From the opening titles that announce the program is "in COLOR," Spider-Man feels dated. When he fights Electro, Spidey can fend off blasts of electricity because he's added "just a little asbestos to my web liquid"; when he discovers the extent of his new powers, Peter dreams of a spot on The Ed Sullivan Show. Although the directors include Ralph Bakshi and former Disney artist Clyde Geronimi, the animation is extremely limited. The same shots of Spiderman swinging over New York appear again and again. But these limits probably won't trouble nostalgic adults who grew up watching Spider-Man on Saturday mornings: "Wherever there's a hang-up / You'll find the Spider-Man!" (Unrated, suitable for ages 7 and older: cartoon violence, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Yes, This is the DVD Box Set we've waited for,
It immediately brought back all childhood memories of Spiderman especially the swinging, jazzin, bebopping, soundtrack. I was patting my foot throughout the entire first viewing of this set. This is the quintessential Spiderman Box Set that spawned the recent incarnation of live action movies. It's the ultimate for any Spidey lover. I absolutely LOVED discs 1-3, However after that it's a downward spiral. To me it was almost unbearable ... Read More

I loved these cartoons as a kid. A lot were on the Wee Willie Webber show in Philadelphia. As an adult I can see so many flaws. I'll list them for your amusement.
1) The store in the opening scenes is first seen as JEWLERY (no typo by me) store...in the next swing by it is spelled correctly as JEWELRY.
2) Unless spiderman has several suits and changed them in mid flight there were many errors in continuity. The spider on his back (looks more like a tic) sometimes had ... Read More

I was a big fan of Spider-Man as a kid and later on as I got older I enjoyed the comic books. I was looking forward to seeing this cartoon but I was disapointed in it. I am not sure if I saw this cartoon as a kid or a different one(I was born in 71). If so it is an example of something remembered as being great as a kid turning out to be terribly bad as an adult. What makes it so bad is they totally dropped the teen angst and troubles of Peter Parker. They give Spider-Man a cheesy Superman hero type ... Read More

The comics were different from the cartoon. The cartoon was fun and humour all the way. Besides the spot on soundtrack, each piece of music punctuates the story masterly. Its cool, nostalgic and really nothing has come close since. Episodes like The Fantastic Fakir (can a title possibly be more imaginative or humourous?)Or a villain's name: Dr Von Schlick (who's weapon is oil, a "greasy" villain). If somebody dont get the purpose of this collection of Lawrence Gantry animation, simply switch off your ... Read More

Quite simply, I picked this DVD collection for my son to watch as he is a Spiderman fan. It's what I call a "cleaner" version of Spiderman as opposed to the movies that have come out in recent years. My son is only 6 and I believe these to be more family-friendly and appropriate for his age. He loves them!
