I always assumed that the SPIDER-MAN live-action show had been networked across the ITV network but it's entirely possible that some regions opted-out. It definitely aired in the Anglia TV region.<br /><br />Marvel UK changed the name of the Spidey weekly to SUPER SPIDER-MAN TV COMIC from October 1981 to capitalize on the belated arrival of the show. The glossy covers (accompanied by glossy centre spreads for the first time) returned (for the first time since January 1979) in order to showcase stills from the show. They dropped the TV connection a year later suggesting the show had long-since vanished from the schedules.

Perhaps it was never shown in my ITV region as I'm sure I 'd have noticed. In 1979 I saw the Spider-Man 'movie' at the cinema which was 2 episodes of the TV show stuck together or something. Of course the TV series showed Spidey as he would have really looked with ill-fitting costume etc rather than the unrealistic CGI-fest of the current movies lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
