The History of Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends: Spiders, Fire & Ice

On this weeks episode we cover the history of Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends, an animated series that lasted only a few seasons and should not be confused with the other Spider-Man cartoon that premiered on the same day.

In this one Spider-Man is joined by Ice Man and Firestar, who was created specifically for this show but has since become part of the Marvel Universe proper.

Almost no merchandise and no action figures, this was a cartoon created specifically to sell comic books.

What comics did this promote? Spider-Man and X-Men were already the top selling Marvel products at the time. I don't think Firestar was introduced to comics until after this show had been cancelled.
