The Evolution of Live-Action Spider-Man

Spider-Man started life as a comic-book character in 1962, but since then, he’s taken over live-action entertainment, too. Thanks to the MCU and Spider-Man: No Way Home in particular, fans have even been able to compare and contrast their favorite interpretation of the Web-Head that has evolved dramatically over decades on television and film.Spider-Man first appeared on television in the 1970s during an odd but memorable cameo on The Electric Company, where he put his seldom heralded detective skills to work, uncovering the dastardly deeds of an emotionally exhausted school principal. Spidey didn’t even speak during this short sketch, but he did get the opportunity to unleash some webbing with the help of rudimentary special effects.From 1977 through 1979, actor Nicholas Hammond portrayed the first official live-action version of Spider-Man on The Amazing Spider-Man television series. During an era in which TV had small budgets and short runs, Hammond still found a way to ingratiate himself with a generation that had grown up only reading about Spider-Man on the page.
