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
Description: Here they are -- all 52 episodes of Spider-Man's original 1967 classic television series, now completely restored in full color and bursting with spectacular Spidey action! Experience every amazing moment of Spider-Man's first appearance on TV in the animated series that electrified Saturday morning audiences from 1967-1970. Featuring the Web-Slinger's greatest foes, including Dr. Octopus, The Green Goblin, Mysterio, The Rhino, Dr. Magneto, and so many more.

This is my favorite cartoon of all time!!! It is for everyone young and old (cause Spidey fans come in all ages and sizes) and cn be enjoyed just as much today as it was way back when.
Hurry and pick this up because it is now out of print and since Disey own the rights we may never see it again. This set is worth just about anything under $100.00 dollars (but in desperation I can see myself paying more for it, it' just that good). Even without special features it is a bargain because ...

The 6-Disc set of the original Spiderman 1967 Cartoon is great especially disc 1 & 2. You will notice the production quality drops dramtically on disc 3 & 4 and recovers for the discs 5 & 6. The story about the production issues are included in the liner notes. I would pay no more than $ 40.00 for the set.

There was an explosion of superhero cartoons in the 1960's, and the 1967 version of Spider-Man was probably one of the best. The cartoon introduced Marvel Comics founder Stan Lee's remarkable hero, to a whole new audience. The Amazing Spider-Man comic, had only been around for a few years, and many younger kids were unfamiliar with the character. The first season, produced by Grantray-Lawrence Animation, featured two Spiderman adventures per episode, with many of the stories featuring characters from ... Read More

I was only familiar with the 60s Spider-Man Series due to its theme. I didn't pick up this set when it was initially released (around the time the 1st Spider-Man movie was released) because at thought it was too corny to watch. As of late, I've become more nostalgic of some animation that aired before my birth, and after viewing a few episodes on [...], I realized this series is not just good for its time, it holds up quite nicely to TV animation of today.
