    "Isn't this a barrel of fun, Spider-Man?"

    Spider-Man faces off against two of his nemeses from the comic books in this fast-paced and consistently amusing pair of stories.

    'Where Crawls the Lizard' has Spidey dueling with the Everglades-based "Lizard Man", who is intent on creating a reptile army and ruling the swamps of the world.

    'Electro the Human Lightning Bolt' sets Spidey against Electro, the costumed cretin who harnesses the power of electricity. Unlike Lizard Man, Electro is basically content to use his powers in immediate self-gain (i.e. Robbing banks, jewelry stores, etc.).

    Another absolute hoot of an episode, with Spidey tossing off his usual assortment of quips, and dodging death at every turn. The most fun is when Spidey tracks Electro down to an empty amusement park, and the villain turns all the rides and attractions against Spider-Man.

    Gillie Fenwick, as the voice of Lizard Man, and Tom Harvey, as the voice of Electro, add a lot of the fun factor with their performances. Every Spider-Man episode always needs a great villain. And this double feature is good entertainment.

    Eight out of 10.

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The "Where Crawls the Lizard" segment is very loosely based on "The Amazing Spider-Man #6" story "Face-To-Face with... the Lizard!", removing every sub-plot and simplifying the lizard storyline to only the bare essentials of the story.
