Spider-Man in film
The first live-action film based on Spider-Man was the unauthorized short "Spider-Man" by Donald F. Glut in 1969. This was followed by "Spider-Man", an American made-for-television film that premiered on the CBS network in 1977. It starred Nicholas Hammond and was intended as a backdoor pilot for what became a weekly episodic TV series.
The Amazing Spider-Man (comic strip)
Years later Spider-Man publisher Marvel Comics tried again, and the daily newspaper comic strip "The Amazing Spider-Man" debuted on January 3, 1977. Produced by Marvel and syndicated by the Register and Tribune Syndicate through 1985, Cowles Media Company in 1986, and King Features Syndicate since, the comic strip was successful in an era with few serialized adventure strips. The strip slowly grew in circulation and as of 2018 is still being published. Initially the creative team was again Lee and Romita. After four years Romita left the strip, but to date Stan Lee remains the writer of the strip's entire run. Though renowned for his use of the Marvel method, Lee writes full scripts for the comic strip.
