Spider-Man, nobody knows who you AAAAAARRRREEEE!
Now, sing it with me forty-somethings, while the kids nod along condescendingly! Marvel even created a comic-book adaptation of those adventures, likewise aimed at readability and educational moments for kid readers. Among the wonderful things that program gave us was the first live-action adaptation of a Marvel Comics property (unless one counts the Captain America serial of 1944, which changed milquetoast-turned-super-soldier Steve Rogers into District Attorney Grant Gardner, who operates more like Batman than the Sentinel of Liberty.) That was “Spidey Super Stories”, featuring the Web-Slinger in action against any number of nefarious foes, all the while teaching lessons in grammar, spelling and other age-appropriate lessons. Previously in Spidey Super Stories: Following up on the success of ‘Sesame Street’, the Children’s Television Workshop expanded in 1971 to give us ‘The Electric Company’, an educational program aimed at slightly older, elementary school aged children. After 43 years, now it can be told! Witness the truth about the FIRST Spider-Woman! Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review of Spidey Super Stories #11 awaits!
