1993: SPIDER-MAN PHOTO STRIP

Eat your heart out (new) EAGLE!  This is a bonkers bit of fun from the pages of Marvel UK's THE EXPLOITS OF SPIDER-MAN issue 11 (28 July 1993), an oft-overlooked M-UK title which actually had a lot of cool stuff (such as this full-page, live-action Death's Head II pin-up).

Despite the Manhattan skyline, this was (if you know what to look for) clearly shot on the roof of M-UK's Arundel House base.  The white (ish) building in the background of the second panel is the hotel-cum-office block on the opposite side of Arundel Street (at the time of writing, the site is empty and about to be demolished).  If "Christine" was to look to her right, she'd see the Thames and LWT's (now ITV's) South Bank studios.

Who's playing Christine?  Who is that masked man?  Is that bulge enhanced?  We don't know.
