    Spiderman and His Amazing Friends



    Fun addition to the site today, it's a Marvel comics brochure from 1982 that details their service of providing Superheroes to your next event. Want Spider-man, Destro and ROM: Space Knight to visit your mall? This is the sales kit you'd recieve and it's pages of fun shots of actors dressed as Marvel Superheroes and some iconic toy characters from the past.

    If anyone has childhood pics of a mall visit such as this, I want them! Send them to me and I'll send you a prize pack.


    I wanted to play Destro but I'm too smooth chested....


    This may be a Mall costume but I like it better than the recent movie doom.

    That is awesome Brian. I got to see Spidey battle the Green Goblin at Hill's in 1980! It was the most siginficant moment in my then 5-year old life.

    Anyone remember this Marvel Team-Up cover?


    There's even a little feature on how they did the cover. Spidey's costume always looked "touched up" to me. Still, a great "cross-over" with this live program!

      It's my dream Chris to create a gallery of photos of these appearances here and on plaidstallions. I've already gotten some folks emailing me.

      Ever since my mom's camera spoiled all the film of me meeting Captain America, I've been obsessed with these things.

        Like I mentioned on PS, I've got my authograph sheet, but no photos from my experience. Sigh. I think I told the funny story behind the autograph here before, but I'll tell it again. After their show, Spidey and the Goblin signed autographs, and Spidey's pen quickly ran out of ink. "Anyone have a pen?" he asks. My mom, ever-alert, pulls out a pen from her massive utility purse, and hands it to me, "Give this to Spider-Man". I somewhat cautiously walk over to Spidey in awe. As I hand him the pen, I realize it's my Batman pen that I got a few days earlier!!! I hand it to Spidey and he looks at it, looks at me, tilts his head, and raises his eybrow disapprovingly at me underneath his mask. He stayed in character perfectly. That's just how Spidey would react. But I thought Spider-Man disliked me for years!!!

        I do have some photos of my son and nephews with Spidey, but they are from the 90s and last year. If only I had a photo of MY Spidey-experience!!!

          I got meet Spiderman twice in the 70's at two local theme parks - Six Gun Territory and Wild Waters in Florida. At the WW event I had him sign a comic book that I still have somewhere (yes it was a Spiderman comic). I will never forget a couple of older kids running after him yelling "hey Spiderman ya wanna fight?"! Even though the guy in the suit was pretty thin i think he still could have taken them! At the Six Gun appearance Spiderman gave out cheap plastic gag spiders like the toy stores used to carry for a dime. Sadly I didn't think far enough ahead to take any photos.

            That's a pretty cool looking Tripwire outfit that one guy's got. That Hulk outfit looks like the one they showed in the back of the Hulk comic once. Showed him beating the snot out of John Byrne.

              WOW! I would have been thrilled to have taken a pic with the Hulk when I was kid,(hell even now more than ever!) but they never had anything like that here in Charleston. *sighs*

                Chris----your own mother set you up!

                Seriously, tho'---that's a funny story

                I picture you as a kid going thru that, then going home & watching
                Spider-Man on TV and being reminded of that and thinking
                about how he was taken aback by laying eyes on Batman merch

                Of course as an adult, you got to read "Disordered Minds" and saw
                they were actually friends nowadays

                (P.S. If ya haven't read that Spidey/Bats teamup---check it out)

                  I wasn't fortunate enough to personally meet with Spidey and his amazing friends, so no photos or humorous stories. However, I have a couple of posters in my collection pertaining to these special appearances. Both are from the late 1980's.

                    Firestar and Iceman? That's really wild.

                    Now those truly ARE Spider-Man's amazing friends,
                    at least from the same-titled cartoon's point of view

                          That ROM pic is cool Brian. The creator of the toy, Bing McCoy has some rare pics on his site:



                          I emailed him to ask what ever happened to the costume but he never replied. He must have thought I was some wierdo.
