INCLUDES EXCLUSIVE EPISODE INTRODUCTIONS
BY THE LEGENDARY STAN LEE
BONUS FEATURETTE REVEALS VENOM'S ORIGIN
BURBANK, Calif., April 27, 2005 - The Spider-Man legend continues with an epic battle against one
of Spidey's greatest foes in SPIDER-MAN: THE VENOM SAGA, coming to DVD and VHS on
June 7. When an alien element falls into the wrong hands, a lethal new criminal is unleashed, and it's up
to Spider-Man to stop him. Experience all the high-flying animated action and spine-tingling
excitement of this spectacular clash, and then get ready for a web-full of DVD bonus features: Five
exclusive episode introductions by Stan Lee; "The Venomous Web" - a featurette where Venom's
origins are revealed by his creators; and "Stan Lee's Soapbox" with more words of wisdom from comics
legend and Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee.
After a daring rescue of a space shuttle carrying two strange meteors, Spider-Man notices a black stain on his costume and a disturbing change in his behavior. Soon, the evil stain consumes his entire costume, and America's favorite superhero Spider-Man is infected by an alien symbiotic creature, Venom.
Under its powerful influence, Spidey finds himself in a place he's never been - running from both the
authorities and his arch-enemies. Will Venom be the one to finally ground the Webslinger, or will
Spider-Man be able to defeat this powerful new force?
