Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends is an animated series produced by Marvel Productions Ltd. which starred the Marvel Comics characters Spider-Man and Iceman whilst also introducing the character Firestar to complete the group. Together, they fought against various villains. Originally broadcast on NBC as a Saturday morning cartoon, the series ran for three seasons, from September 12, 1981 to September 10, 1983.
This animated series was noticeably more popular than the solo Spider-Man animated series that aired around the same time. It has also become more well known in recent years, thanks in part to syndication on the Jetix programming block. As of 2006, as with the majority of the other Disney-acquired Marvel Comics animated series, there are no plans to release the show to DVD. It was released in Region 2 in late 2008.
Storyline
Peter
Parker (Spider-Man), Bobby Drake (Iceman) and Angelica Jones (Firestar)
are all college students at Empire State University. After working
together to defeating the Beetle and recovering the "Power Booster" he
stole from Tony Stark (a.k.a. Iron Man) the trio decide to make the
team-up permanent as the "Spider-Friends." They live together in Peter's
Aunt May's home with her and a pet dog Ms. Lion. Together, the
superheroes battle various supervillains.
The more memorable stories from the series included various team-ups with other characters from the Marvel Universe. These included Captain America, Iron Man, and the "All-New" lineup of the X-Men, the latter of which made their animated debut on this program (the original line-up of X-Men once appeared in a Sub-Mariner episode from the 1960s).
