    Which is your favourite Animated Version of Spiderman?

    So many to choose from!

    Of course most of us have a soft spot for Ralph Bakshi's Psychedelic Skies Swingin' Sixties original.

    There is also a fondness felt for Spiderman and his Amazing Friends.

    I have to admit that I have little recollection of the brief eighties series that I think was syndicated with Robocop as The Marvel Action Hour or something similar? Was this series even aired in Canada?

    Of course there is the popular and long running Fox Kids Spiderman Animated Series which is probably the most faithful of all the animated adaptations so far.

    I didn't really ever catch Spiderman Unlimited, but have generally heard mixed things about this series.

    I have to admit that I really liked the Mainframe 3-D animated Spiderman that only lasted one season on MTV. I believe Brian Bendis was involved in writing the Pilot and served as an executive producer on this show?

    Now there is a new animated Spiderman series on the way.


    Given the success of Straight to DVD animated Marvel features such as The Avengers (based on Millar and Hitch's The Ultimates) and Iron Man, I'm suprised that Spiderman isn't getting any kind of made for DVD animated feature. I would love to see an adaptation of The Death of Kraven in this format.

        That new one might change my mind if it's as good as the preview art looks.

            '67 Spider-Man is the definitive Spidey! Period!

                While I have a fondness in my heart for the 67 toons, I really liked the solor 80s toons that were packaged with the 67 toons for syndication. Same designs as Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, but it seemed less campy and more faithful to the comics. Retold a lot of the classic Spidey tales and featured all the classic villains. Some of the plots were recycled into Spidey and Friends episodes.

                It was always a treat when one of these would show in amongst a week of 67 toons I had already seen 12 times before.

                  I know the 67 Spidey is better, but I like Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends the best. It holds too much nostalgia for me. It's the reason I switched from DC to Marvel at that age and Spidey became my favorite comic.

                      Spider-man is awesome in general---but I don't think has ever realized
                      even NEAR his potential until the movies

                      The DCU, howerver ain't gonna get much better than the Timm animated stuff

                      Frankly I just wish Timm would start working with Marvel now that
                      B:TAS, S: TAS, BB, JL and JLU are at an end

                      A Timm styled Spider-Man would become the definitive one I think

                      On a side note---I was weaned on the 60 Spider-Man toon and I think it
                      deserves a lot of credit because of that. Electro, Vulture, Sandman,
                      Rhno, Lizard, Scorpion all became BIG favorites of mine after viewing that 'toon

                      The Firestar/Iceman 'toon was okay too, but
                      I think was overshadowed by too many characters that weren't directly
                      Spidey related within its short run
                      "No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris Mannix

                              Electric Company was my first exposure to Spiderman, and I had a few issues of Spidey Super Stories as a kid. I recently had a chance to catch some of the Electric Company Spiderman on YouTube and still found them quite charming. I say Spiderman helped me learn to read!
