" Spider-Man , Spider-Man. Does whatever a spider can. Spins a web, any size, Catches thieves just like flies. Look Out! Here Comes the Spider-Man. " This catchy song of the animated series has trapped for five decades millions of children who dream of being the arachnid superhero .
The story is known: in 1962 , Stan Lee wanted to make a comic about a character with the characteristics of a fly. His publicist said it was a terrible idea, so he created a superhero with the characteristics of a spider, and Spider-Man was born.
After 55 years, Spider-Man made Lee a millionaire and his character is one of the most revered, and today, it is half a century since his animated series hit television, beginning the Spidey euphoria.
This year, the remake in cinemas, S pider-Man: Homecoming was a blockbuster by raising USD$ 748 million worldwide, an unprecedented success considering the series premiered on September 8, 1967 , but with a very low budget produced until June 14, 1970 , despite its popularity in Spanish-speaking countries since 1970.
This was the first animated adaptation of the comic Spider-Man, created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko . It aired for the first time on ABC in the United States . Grantray-Lawrence Animation produced the first season, while the second and third seasons were produced by Ralph Bakshi .
For Marc Webb , comic book fan and Director of Amazing Spider-Man , and Amazing Spider-Man 2 , what sets this hero apart from others is that being masked, anyone can be Spider-Man .
"Over the years we've seen that Spider-Man is not just Peter Parker , he can be an African American , a Latino , an Asian , Spider-Man can be you or even me... Today Spider-Man is Miles Morales , an Afro-Latino teen making Spidey an empathetic and above all timeless character, "Webb said in an interview with EL UNIVERSAL .
Marc, like millions of children in the 70's, wanted to be The Spider-Man, a dream that would come true 30 years later.
"Directing two movies was a dream, I've always been a fan of superheroes, but as an adult and a father I think Spider-Man could be the most important superhero: He's an ordinary guy who risks his life for the public good without any reward or any kind of support, he does it because he feels empathy towards his friends, neighbors, companions."
