Merry Christmas and happy holidays to my staff of podcast regulars, reviewers and you the visitor to the Crawlspace. This has been the biggest year for the site. We’ve had several million visitors this year which is amazing for a little fan site I created out-of-the blue 13 years ago. Here’s to 2012 and making this the best Spider-Man site on the web.
Brad Douglas
View articlesBrad created the Crawlspace back in 1998 while attending college at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He’s the webmaster and writes front page news items, and also produces, hosts and edits the podcast. He’s been collecting Spider-Man comics since the age of three and is a life-long fan of the webhead. His website has been featured in USA Today, Entertainment Weekly and on Marvel.com and inside the comics themselves. The Crawlspace is one of the first Spider-Man fan sites to ever hit the internet. Millions of people visit the site every year.
Brad has interviewed several “Spider-Celebrities” over the years including co-creator Stan Lee. He’s also interviewed actors who have portrayed Spider-Man like Paul Soles (Voice Actor from the 67 Spider-Man Cartoon), Dan Gilvezan (Spidey Voice Actor from Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends) ,Yuri Lownthal (Voice Actor from the Spider-Man PlayStation game) and Nicholas Hammond (Spider-Man 1977 Actor).

@ Number 4 The guy standing is Wonder Man. By the way Brad where is this art taken from?
Merry Christmas Chief and to the rest of this wonderful site! But who’s the guy standing on the Fantast-Car? How is Spidey swinging from the cosmos? Will the world ever know?
Black Widow
White costume, red Spider… who is she?
Maligayang Pasko, Crawlspace! This has been my first year on the site and the boards, and it has been quite a fantastic year! Out of all the forums that I’m a part of, this is the one that feels like family to me!
