I seem to remember seeing this type of animation with stories featuring the Hulk and Captain America. It was being shown on an independant station about 8 years ago. I also seem to remember it from the 60's. I find it hard to believe that Marvel would putting out this drival when they also have _Spiderman and His Amazing Friends_ (Mainly Iceman and Firestar) showing on Saturdays, too. Scott A.
