'Spider-Man Meets Dr. Noah Boddy'.
The title villain (voiced by Henry Ramer) starts framing Jameson for crimes after the publisher refused to print any stories about Boddy's mastery of invisibility. Good fun for Spidey fans, with the web-head having his work cut out for him at first, having to confront a villain whom he can't see. But some well-placed ink creates a trail for Spidey to follow. The segment also benefits from a typically maniacal, grandiose bad guy well voiced by Ramer. One of the biggest laughs happens when a net Spidey tried to use to catch Boddy lands on Jameson.
'The Fantastic Fakir'.
This time around, the bad guy - a fakir is a Hindu holy man with a command of magic - uses his flute music to create illusions and obstacles for Spidey to overcome, while plotting to steal valuable gems. This antagonist is voiced by Paul Soles, also the regular voice of Spidey / Peter Parker, and he's a hoot, although modern viewers, in this politically correct era, may be thunderstruck by some of the characters & lines. Best of all is when the villain is able to place hot coals and needles under Spidey's feet. It's just too hilarious watching Spidey dance in pain before he is able to get past these obstacles. The episode ends with yet another of Jamesons' slams against kids.
Eight out of 10.
