CGC 9.2 • White Pages • 1972 • Silver Age🕷️ What\'s Going On Here?
Peter Parker is in serious trouble. After his battle with the Spider-Slayer, Peter changes clothes on a nearby rooftop—only to discover that a spy camera may have caught him removing his mask.
That creates one enormous problem: did someone see Peter Parker\'s face? Peter can\'t afford to take the chance, so he comes up with a clever solution—a synthetic mask designed to fool Professor Spencer Smythe.
But Smythe isn\'t sitting around waiting. The professor is preparing an even more powerful version of the Spider-Slayer for another attack on Spider-Man. With Peter trying to protect his secret identity while facing an upgraded enemy, the tension quickly builds toward the next confrontation.

🎨 Cover Art
John Romita\'s cover focuses on the central mystery of Peter Parker\'s secret identity. Spider-Man is caught in the middle of a dangerous scene while several observers look on, giving the image the feeling of a public discovery unfolding in real time.
The main action takes place around a large image of Spider-Man that appears to be under observation, with Peter\'s identity becoming the obvious focus of attention. The surrounding crowd reacts to what they are seeing, while the large caption \"REVEALED! THE FACE OF PETER PARKER!\" makes the threat immediately clear.
The cover also incorporates the Spider-Man title prominently across the top and uses the dramatic \"SQUASH! GOES THE SPIDER!\" headline along the bottom, creating the classic Silver Age combination of mystery, danger, and sensational cover copy.
Rather than simply showing Spider-Man trading punches with a villain, the cover turns the threat of Peter Parker being exposed into the central visual hook. That makes it especially effective because the reader immediately understands what is at stake before even opening the issue.
