Review/plot:
Marvel Comics Presents was apparently home to people that believed in "I before E, even in Keith".

Someone spots Spider-Man while he's saving a couple from a mugging, and i guess seeing him in person makes him realize that Spider-Man is the same guy that he saw as a kid climbing the sides of buildings back when Peter Parker first got his powers.

So he goes to a police artist to get a sketch done, and the sketch is published by the Daily Bugle. But Peter has nothing to worry about.

I remember a Fred Hembeck one-pager with this very premise, right down to basically the same punchline. Can't remember if it was in conjunction with Spidey's 30th anniversary or not.

And now the poor kid is smoking! This never would've happened if his mom had let him see more horror movies...

Holy crap, Spider-Man is actually... Steve Ditko?!?
