Swinging Through Spider-man: A Spider-man History Podcast

We are back with the fourth and fifth issues of The Amazing Spider-Man and the villains won't stop arriving! The Sandman is here and no - like Brad guessed, he doesn't make you sleepy! At all. Flint Marko - damaged by radiation (a first in this comic...) - has become the Sandman. Banks beware! Will Spider-Man stop him? Of course! Also in this episode: * Peter is force-fed soup * Peter ruins a date * We ruin our recap of issue #5 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spideypodcast/message

It's another big one, already! Doctor Octopus makes himself known in this episode and can you guess what his power is? Apart from his poor eyesight and portly body - it's his four robotic arms and his belief in being the 'supreme being'. How will Spider-Man deal with this one? Spoiler alert - barely. Thank you once more for your continued support. It means the world to us. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spideypodcast/message

In this episode, James and Brad delve from the heights as the vicious Vulture makes his debut. Yep - a bald old man in a suit is Spider-Man's first serious foe. However, we might all laugh, but this is a serious turning point for old Spidey, and we were kind of shocked to see everything go down in the manner it did! Can Spider-Man get out of a bathtub? Will he ever get a job? How did he get one over on the Vulture? Find out within! Oh, and another thing - thank you so much. We're taking this incredibly seriously. New mics are ordered and we can't WAIT to up the production values of this show. Please consider rating it, subscribing, sharing or even just talking to us! It'd make our day. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spideypodcast/message

After combing through Amazing Fantasy #15, Brad & James take a big look at the very first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man. Issue number one, of course. This issue is a blast, with a hell of a lot going on in a 2-part deal, so here's a bit of a bumper episode containing the two parts of the first big Spider-Man story as we meet the Fantastic Four, J. Jonah Jameson and the Chameleon. Is Spider-Man a menace? Is he a domestic terrorist? Why does he keep begging for money? Find out by listening to our second episode! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spideypodcast/message

So, we're here - an idea held for seven long years is finally realised. James and Brad, wielding a subscription to Marvel Unlimited, will start their journey to the decades long saga of the Amazing Spider-Man, starting off with his first appearance - in the 15th issue of the Amazing Fantasy anthology comic book. From this, Spider-Man became a smash hit, unlocking his potential in his own series, the Amazing Spider-Man, which would go on for YEARS. So, we start exactly where he starts - in his bed in New York. What happens next? Well, we are sure you know, but you're not here for the origin, again - you're here for the journey, so join us as we take our first steps into this incredible saga, and like Spider-Man's web, we hope you stick to us! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spideypodcast/message
