Festival Of Frugality #221 – Spider-Man Edition

Welcome to the Spider-Man edition of the Festival of Frugality! The last time I hosted this carnival was back in September and I had a G.I.Joe theme that had a lot of comments with people reminiscing back to their youth. So for this edition I thought I’d look back at something that was a staple of Saturday morning cartoons… Spider-Man! I hope you enjoy all these great articles!

The Spectacular Spider-Man has a tone and style based primarily on the original stories by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, with a similar balance of action, drama, and comedy as well as a high school setting. However, it also tends to utilize material from all eras of the comic’s run and other sources such as the film series and the Ultimate Spider-Man comics.

That’s it for this week’s Festival of Frugality, hope you enjoyed all the great posts. Be sure to check out next week’s edition, hosted by Scordo!

    Nice I like the mix up of a festival with some reminiscing…

    Do you remember those awful Spiderman films from the 70s? There was also weird Japanese adaptation wher he had some kind of large contraption on his arm and had fights with giant growing monsters…. was very weird indeed!

    The theme song of that cartoon still rings through my head. It was briefly played in the first Spiderman movie with Tobey Mcguire (street singer).
