Which episodes were these scenes from?


I'm trying to remember which episodes these scenes are from. They're both from episodes that I haven't seen in about 20 years (Jetix hasn't shown either to my knowledge). I don't remember if Iceman & Firestar are in either (the eps may be from the other Spidey show from '81).

At the end of an episode where Spidey has battled Electro, a pair of cops in their squad car find Electro webbed to a clock tower (?) with a note from Spidey pinned to him (Electro). One of the cops reads the note aloud, which begins, "Hickory Dickory Dock ...” That’s all I remember from that one.

I remember even less of the second ep. In it, Spidey is wrapped up in chains, trapped in a room with books. I think that the room was filling up with water. Spidey hops over to a lectern with a large book of magic (?) on it. The book is already open. Spidey uses his chin to turn the pages, trying to find a magic spell that will help him escape both the chains & the room. I want to say that he was fighting Mysterio, but Mysterio only illusions & not magic (unless Mysterio found a book of magic?). Spidey is talking to himself as he looks thru the book, but I don't remember what he said.

Anyway, I've already looked on IMDb, ToonZone's MAA/Spidey section (just the two shows from '81), and spider-friends.com, to no avail. If anyone has a clue, please let me know! I've been wondering about these eps for a long time now, but haven't gotten around to posting until now. I might post this on the other '81 show's board, too.

If anybody could please tell me, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The scenes and episodes you are describing are from the 1960s Spiderman cartoon show.

Episode titles: "Electro The Human Lightning Bolt" or "Kilowatt Kaper"-Electro
"Magic Malice"- Green Goblin

Thanks, davoyl-com! Wow -- I couldn't remember if I'd ever watched the '67 series, but apparently I have. And I've been wanting to find out where those scenes were from for years.

I should rent or borrow the '67 series some time, especially for those two episodes.

Thanks again!
