“The Power of Dr. Octopus”, episode #1 of the 1967 ABC Saturday morning cartoon series Spider-Man. Marvel has more videos from the series in their online archives.

First airing on the ABC television network in 1967, the series revolves around the scientific-minded teenager Peter Parker who, after being bitten by a radioactive spider, develops amazing strength and spider-like powers. He decides to become a crime-fighting, costumed superhero; all the while dealing with his personal problems and the insecurities resulting from being a teenager. Each episode features two parts so you get twice as many web-slinging adventures in each video!
