Spider-Man (1967 TV series)

Spider-Man is a superheroanimated television series that was the first television series based on the Spider-Mancomic book series created by writer Stan Lee and by artist Steve Ditko. The series aired Saturday mornings from September 9, 1967 to June 14, 1970. Season 1 was produced by Grantray-Lawrence Animation with Canadian voice actors, Paul Soles as Peter Parker and Paul Kligman as J. Jonah Jameson working from Toronto. Grantray-Lawrence went bankrupt, so their distributor Krantz Films took over production, with animator Ralph Bakshi flying back and forth between Toronto and New York City where Gray Morrow was working on the art. The first two seasons aired on the ABCtelevision network, and the third was distributed in syndication.

The series gained a variety of internet memes and is also remembered for its theme song containing the iconic phrase "Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can."
