On this day September 12, 1981, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends made its debut on NBC, bringing everyone’s favorite web-slinger to Saturday morning television alongside new allies. The animated series ran for three seasons, producing a total of 24 episodes. It featured Spider-Man teaming up with Iceman and Firestar to fight villains and save the day, blending superhero action with fun, lighthearted moments that appealed to younger audiences.

The show became a classic part of 80s Saturday morning cartoon lineups and helped introduce new generations to the Marvel Universe. Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends also showcased memorable villains like Doctor Doom and the Green Goblin, leaving a lasting impression on fans.

Fun Fact!

Firestar, one of Spider-Man’s allies in the show, was actually created specifically for the series and later became a part of Marvel Comics.
