Spider-Man (1967–1970)
9/10
Classic Comics Cartoon
2 June 2017
compliments of your friendly neighborhood Spiderman.

Peter Parker is a teenage photographer working at the Daily Bugle in NYC. He is secretly Spider-Man. His self-aggrandizing boss J. Jonah Jameson is obsessed with bringing down Spider-Man's reputation. Betty Brant is the redheaded secretary.

This is the first Spider-Man cartoon and about five years after his first appearance in the comics. The first season has Spider-Man battling many of his classic foes. The episodes are usually divided in two with a different villain for each part. Seasons two and three had Ralph Bakshi as the new showrunner as costs get cut. He created his own villains and the animation style is changed. It's a little cheaper and has that grimy 70's style. The changes are not all bad. I do like the weird sky and Spider-Man's origin is shown at the start of the second season. It was odd that the show didn't start with his origin story. In the end, I like the first season more. Also, it doesn't get more iconic than the Spider-Man theme.
