First watched : Uncertain
Nowadays you can't turn on the TV without at least one option of some superhero action but back in the days when I was actually buying Marvel comics this cartoon series was the only opportunity to see it on screen. It was broadcast on holiday mornings on ITV and I rarely got to see it whether through Dad watching cricket or being pulled out for shopping, dentist etc. I remember one visit to the old Littleborough clinic at the top of Barehill Street where I sat fretfully watching the clock , hoping to get back home in time to watch it but to no avail.
Spider-Man was made over three series between 1967 and 1970. The first series was quite faithful to the comics featuring familiar villains but thereafter the budget was slashed and Spider-Man had to fight generic, cheaply drawn aliens and the episodes were padded out with footage from an earlier series called Rocket Robin Hood. I loved it just the same.
