The Amazing Spider-Man 1963 #262 Direct ed. - back issue - $5.00
A sleazy photographer snaps a picture of Peter changing out of his Spider-Man costume and Spider-Man has to stop him before he can peddle his secret identity to the criminal underworld.
- - The "camera" that the photographer is shown holding was in actuality a tape dispenser, because the photographer, Eliot R. Brown, only owned one camera at the time (and it was already in use, being set up on a tripod snapping the actual photo used for the cover). Production department artist Ron Zalme touched up the final image by inking over the web lines on Spider-Man's costume.
