I was recently interviewed in J Magazine to celebrate Spider-Man’s 50th anniversary. It’s a local magazine for the Joplin area and they did a great job. I scanned the article for you all to see. I also attached a few images that weren’t in the article. You get a little look into the Crawlspace home.
Brad Douglas
View articlesBrad 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).

Very Cool. That was a nice piece, Congrats.
So tell us; what issues are you missing between #1 – #14, and are they on your to-do list?
BD, nice article. That is one heck of a collection you got going there…72 long boxes? Impressive. Course, when I see your what you ordered this month list on the site, I should not be surprised. Really love the Spider-Man bust, where did you find that?
Love it Brad.
Wheat cakes, I have a 16 year old step daughter . I’ve mentioned her a few times, i did a few months ago when I talked about taking thd whole family to San Diego. Glad everyone liked the article.
Really nice to see this. Cool little article highlighting Brad’s big obsession. Good stuff.
Nice to see the toilet paper so prominently displayed on the top shelf! 🙂
One question though, you have two daughters? I don’t remember you mentioning Alyce on the show, only Ava.
Awesome article and hey, more exposure for the Crawlspace!
That would be what I hope my geek room will be like after years of collecting. That Spidey bust with the reflective eyes is especially cool.
