@Mets: After Ditko, I don’t think anyone ever made Peter look like a scrawny high school kid besides maybe Frenz and Oliffe.
@Brad: Thanks Brad. In hindsight it kinda makes sense that they would take something from the first “Spectacular” magazine to use for the actual ongoing.

Didn’t know about the corner box thing.
The image itself doesn’t make all that much sense from a narrative perspective (Peter looks older and more muscular than a high school kid. He usually avoids swinging in Forest Hills.)
