However, upon starting his job he learned that no writing had been done. In 1994, Semper began working on Spider-Man: The Animated Series as a story editor.
Semper was then brought on to work on the show immediately. Stan Lee then told Semper that Martin Pasko had been fired. The studio originally wanted the Martin Pasko who was a story editor for Batman: The Animated Series, but when negotiations broke down John Semper Jr. was called by Stan Lee. It was Marvel's second longest running animated series (after X-Men: The Animated Series) and was the longest cartoon based on Spider-Man (until both shows were beat by Ultimate Spider-Man's third season which reached 78 episodes as of September 2015). While Marvel's X-Men animated series was being produced by Saban, Spider-Man: The Animated Series was produced by the newly formed Marvel Films Animation (which was headed by Avi Arad) and was animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha with Korean studios. The series also features guest appearances from several other Marvel heroes. A sub-plot through most of the series focuses on Madame Web sending Spider-Man on missions to prepare him for his ultimate battle. Over the course of the series the single Peter Parker contends with the romantic love interests of Mary Jane Watson and Felicia Hardy. The series features all of Spider-Man's most popular villains with the exception of Sandman. As the story begins Peter Parker has already gained his powers and is a part-time freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle. The series focuses on Spider-Man and his alter ego Peter Parker during his college years at Empire State University.
