A TVTA special.
Presenting: vintage and modern print adverts, comic covers, card games and merchandise featuring web-slinging superhero Spider-Man plus his friends and arch-enemies – all from the collection of TVTA! Enjoy 🙂
Spider-Man Top Trumps cards and sets
edit: removed the Spider-Sense images temporarily as I was getting a lot of a spam on these images and WP seem more interested in pushing their crappy new editors down our throats than fixing spam and removing junk vitamin tablet accounts. The new WP editor is crap I know because I tried it to edit this post – and it was just a nightmare to use. Good job I still have classic editor at my disposal, though for how long I don’t know…
Thanks for looking 🙂
Post updated with new images September 2019.
Spider-Man and Cap N Crunch, excellent! I love those old comic/ads.

It was good fun putting these together. I never realised there were so many Spidey food and snack promotions back then.

I loved the Saturday morning cartoons, had a few comics and some Christmas annuals. Never played a Spidey video game but bet it’s fun swinging him from block to block. I think fellow WP’er Paul Bowler posted a recent Spider-Man video game IIRC – and the shots of Spidey spinning webs and flying through the city were brilliant.

Brilliant. I had a lot of fun putting this post together. Hulk coming soon, and hopefully Wonder Woman when I source some more ads!

I love these; Spider-Man, along with Hulk, was my favourite when I was younger. I think it had a lot to do with Saturday morning cartoons!

Yes! Saturday morning cartoons were a major influence on me. Ah, you mention Hulk… a big post coming up in next couple of weeks in the same style as this Spidey one. Gotta love the Hulk 🙂 Interesting that a lot of ads I own feature both Hulk and Spidey together! Guess they were Marvel’s go-to double act for a while – a bit like how you always saw R2D2 and C3PO together in Star Wars ads.

Yeah, definitely their two I saw most when I was a kid and I’ll be looking forward to the post in the next couple of weeks!

Fantastic stuff! I’m especially a fan of Spidey’s look from the ’70s and ’80s.

Same here. Fond memories of Saturday morning TV watching Spider-Man and other cartoons.
