Episode 134: Happy Birthday, Spider-Man Installment 1
Welcome to the first installment in a multi-part series of episodes (which is a fancy way of saying I don’t know how many episodes this is going to take) celebrating the fiftieth anniversary/birthday of the Amazing Spider-Man. This time out I am joined by Brad Douglas (webmaster and ringleader of the Spider-Man Crawlspace) to talk about the various comic book titles that Spider-Man has appeared in over the years. Spider-Man has had a number of comic series to call his own over the years and Brad and I talk about all of them. We talked so long actually that I had to split the conversation unevenly in two, so this week we focus on Amazing Spider-Man in addition to several fun digressions about the various television series (both animated and live action) that have been on the air over the years. There is even a reference to Bowling-For-Dollars, which isn’t all that impressive but Brad and I talk about it anyway.
During the episode we refer to a cover gallery over at Mike’s Amazing World of Marvel Comics. You can check that gallery by clicking on this link.
Next time: Brad and I finish our talk by going over Marvel Team-Up, Spectacular Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man and much, much more.
Yes!Another great episode of “Views.”What made this one so great?It has my favorite pod-caster covering my favorite character;Spider-Man!I’m glad you decided to spend some time on THE greatest character in all of fiction.Me and Peter Parker go back a looong way,and I really appreciated hearing Brad Douglas’ take on the ole Web-Head too.I’ve listened to many an episode of the Spider-Man crawlspace,so I know that Brad knows his spider-Man.His love for the character really shines through his podcasts.Thanks Michael for retrospective look at “Amazing”,looking forward to the next one.
Mike, what is the name of the song at the beginning of this episode? I love it and can’t find it via google searching the first few lyrics. Thanks!
