It’s kind of interesting that all of the 1970s Spider-Man appearances were in live-action. It’s true, the Sam Rami films were not the first time our favorite wall crawler was performed by a physical actor…with the budget of a 1970s television show. I hope you’re not expecting much out of these shows.
However, I think each add something interesting to the character in their own way, in different approaches with different actors. We’ll be looking at three different shows with five different intros between them. They’ve become infamous in their own ways but I rather enjoy all of the shows we’re looking at. The intros…depends on the one we’re looking at. So here we go.
Turns out being green has its advantages.

Kind of disappointing to hear that they redid old performances years later. Even if they weren’t very good, it’s still interesting to follow the evolution of such things. Plus it feels like a slight against the original performers, but that’s just me. Also wish he had covered the Peter Cushing films just as a point of interest.
This is a rare occasion for me. I’m sort of starting at the beginning of the Christmas season. So I tried to figure out what I could that would fit in the allotted time. There isn’t a lot. Not counting this and Christmas day itself I only have two Mondays. A shorter book is required but nothing decent is really that short. I thought about my schedule, knowing I needed time to finish (hopefully) my Christmas superhero comic, Captain Yuletide. I actually considered using Saturday as a bonus day since I was not going to be doing “Yesterday’s” Comic until after the holiday for the same reason. That would mean STILL taking up time I need for the comic.
Then I came up with what I need, once I figured out what I’m going to read. My choice is only five “staves” long, so I could do that the last week of Christmas, free up even more time to finish my minicomic on time, and still have a Christmas themed Chapter By Chapter. That brings us to this year’s book of choice. The Life And Adventures Of Santa Claus is one I’d like to read but that would take up all of December and I’m not prepared to give up the whole month and still lose out. I’ll have to figure out how to tackle that in the future. Other choices are children’s books and thus really short. I’m not sure how to tackle them. Then I checked into my first choice and found it’s rather easy to do even though the chapters are a bit long. I can auto-schedule them for Christmas week and not worry about them. So this year, and for the twenty-second book in the Chapter By Chapter review series, it’s time for a timeless classic that’s been adapted, homaged, sequeled, and re-imagined to death and yet rarely gets as old as its protagonist. Set your clocks for midnight because we’re reading…
