Spider-Man’s co-creator turns 83 today. What better way to learn about him than watching this awesome BBC documentary. Parts 2 and 3 are after the jump.
Brad created the Crawlspace back in 1998 while attending college at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He’s the webmaster and writes front page news items, and also produces, hosts and edits the podcast. He’s been collecting Spider-Man comics since the age of three and is a life-long fan of the webhead. His website has been featured in USA Today, Entertainment Weekly and on Marvel.com and inside the comics themselves. The Crawlspace is one of the first Spider-Man fan sites to ever hit the internet. Millions of people visit the site every year.
Brad has interviewed several “Spider-Celebrities” over the years including co-creator Stan Lee. He’s also interviewed actors who have portrayed Spider-Man like Paul Soles (Voice Actor from the 67 Spider-Man Cartoon), Dan Gilvezan (Spidey Voice Actor from Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends) ,Yuri Lownthal (Voice Actor from the Spider-Man PlayStation game) and Nicholas Hammond (Spider-Man 1977 Actor).
At some point soon Sony’s probably going to announce the villain(s) for SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING. The decision on whether to use Vulture, Mysterio, someone we’ve seen before, or some combination of the above, has probably already […]

Happy Birthday Mr. Ditko.
BD, thanks for the find! Awesome…all SEVEN parts…that’s right there is a total of 7, so if you can watch it all…For me, I never saw Stan Lee as the SOLE creator of Spider-Man. I always saw it as Lee as the idea\writer and Steve Ditko as the visionary. Of course, Stan Lee can think it is his “creation”, but without the visuals…well, then Spider-Man can look like anything. So hats off to both Lee\Ditko, without them both we would not be enjoying this great character as we see it now.
Happy birthday to you Mr. Ditko. You are, truly, a living legend.
Happy Birthday Mr. Ditko!
Fascinating documentary. And happy birthday Ditko! 🙂
I wish Ditko would come plot and draw an issue or two of Spidey. That would see through the roof
This is so very wonderful of a posting Brad. Happy Birthday to Spidey’s first illustrator, now if you could get pod cast with him someday that would be the simply “AMAZING”!
