Only another few months till Marvel makes the network! Starting in September, the FF and Spidey will be presented border-to-border and coast-to-coast by the American Broadcasting Company! Our fascinatin' foursome will be produced by
Hanna-
Barbera, while your favorite web-slinger will be filmed at the Universal City studios of Grantray-Lawrence - with both half-hour shows being in full animation and glowing color!
Click on the images above to browse YouTube playlists of episodes of Fantastic Four and Spider-Man. Making their debut on September 9, 1967, the
Fantastic Four and
Spider-
Man cartoon series carried on the tradition of faithful adaptations and great voice work begun by 1966's
Marvel Superheroes cartoon, but with improved animation courtesy of such talents as the late
Alex Toth and
Ralph Bakshi.
Although the Fantastic Four series ran for only twenty episodes, Spider-Man continued for three seasons, in time becoming just as much, if not more, of a cultural touchstone as the comic series that inspired it. For more great Spider-Man info, check out
Wallopin' Websnappers, a fun Flash-based site narrated by Spidey himself,
Paul Soles (Who also provided vox for
Hermie the
Misfit Elf!) which takes a look at the actors who lent their voices to the cartoon's cast of characters, and WFMU's Beware the Blog's
article on the show's timeless music and its production history.
