"Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spiderman."
For all your Spiderman needs! Chris Cooling breaks down the glut of Spiderman-related product of the 1970s, including the 1977 television movie, the resulting 1978 television series starring Nicholas Hammond, and the 1978 Japanese Supaidâman iteration produced by TV Tokyo/Toei and starring Shinji Tôdô. We also get some vintage toy commercials from Mego, and a lesson to be learned from Joanna Cameron!
Corrections: ABC'S animated series was 1967, not 1966 as stated. Johnny Sokko is seen Sunday nights on Comet, not Me-TV as stated.
