Sitting in Stage 27 on the Sony lot, a webshoot away from the actors and filmmakers of the upcoming Spider-Man film, I`ve been continually humming to myself that jazzy song from the 1967-1970 animated TV series Spider-Man. `Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does w... Spider-Man 2

I don't make toys for a living, but even I can tell you that it's pretty damned hard to make an action figure in a little sewn polyester costume look like a superhero in a skintight supersuit. This has been a given ever since Mego launched a line of 8" su... A Spider-Man For All Seasons, Part 2
