The Spectacular Spider-Man is the seventh animated series to depict the Marvel Comics' character and icon, Spider-Man. It is produced by Gargoyles co-creator, Greg Weisman and Gargoyles storyboard artist, Vic Cook.
The Spectacular Spider-Man follows the theme of "the education of Peter Parker" as he attends High School and has to deal with keeping his grades up, girls and the stresses of being a teenager, while at the same time protects New York City from criminals and supervillains such as the Green Goblin, the Vulture, Electro, Venom and Dr. Octopus.
The series premiered on Kids WB on March 8th, and at the moment, twenty-six episodes are in various stages of production. It is likely to be renewed for even more episodes.

References to Gargoyles in The Spectacular Spider-Man
- In the pilot episode, "The Survival of the Fittest", Spider-Man swings past stone gargoyles that bear a close resemblance to Hudson, Broadway and Goliath. Later in the episode, while battling the Vulture and the Enforcers, Spider-Man accidentally destroys a stone gargoyle that greatly resembles Broadway.
- While not an intentional reference, Max Dillon is transformed into Electro when he is shocked by electric eels in Curt Conners' laboratory. This is similar to Anton Sevarius' "death scene" in "Metamorphosis".
- Harry Osborn drinks from a vial labeled: OsCorp Globulin Green #994. 994 is the year of the Wyvern Massacre.
- Another gargoyle appears in a Haunted House ride on Coney Island in "Reaction".
