| | Spider-Man - Excerpted from Marvel Comics: The Characters and their Universe |
 | | In one of the most elaborate publicity stunts ever staged by Marvel (or anyone else, for that matter), Spidey and M.J., represented by actors in costume, were "married" in the baseball stadium by Stan Lee on June 5, 1987, before a jubilant crowd of 55,000 people. |
 | | Titled "Spider-Man: The Animated Series," the sixty-five-episode series was a joint production of Marvel Productions, New World Entertainment, Saban Entertainment, and Graz Entertainment, and offered both a heightened sophistication in the storylines and a look that was new to television at that time, thanks to the use of computer generated imagery (CGI) for the backgrounds. |
 | | A joint production of Marvel Studios, Laura Ziskin Productions, and Columbia Pictures, "Spider-Man" is scripted by David Koepp, Neil Ruttenberg, and Scott Rosenberg, and directed by Sam Raimi--whose 1990 feature "Darkman" had a strong comic book atmosphere to it. |
