Happy 30th Birthday, Spidey & Friends!

Saturday, September 12th 1981, "Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends" debuted on NBC's Saturday Morning line-up! Don't you feel REALLY OLD now?

Spider-man, Ice Man and Firestar fought crime from their brownstone apartment all through the 1980's, never having to update their style or design at all. And they gave me some of my biggest Saturday morning thrills EVER when they would bring in other Marvel comics characters. "THAT'S THE X-MEN! THAT'S CAPTAIN AMERICA! OMG I CAN DIE NOW!!!"

I think this was one of the first Saturday Morning Cartoons I really remember loving, and it was my introduction to Spidey. :)

I always wanted them to fight Doctor Doom cause he was at the end of the intro, so like Skeletor, I assumed he was their "main villain"... but they hardly ever did! lol
