Miscellaneous
Pages: 12
Disclose Notes: Page 12 introduces the second half of the story with a "new" splash page, which appears to be composed of diverse elements from elsewhere: there is an inset top right of Dr Octopus which is clearly by Ditko, a blurb in the bottom left corner ("Plus: a special guest appearance by the Human Torch!") which from its style is definitely from a previous US Marvel (splash page or cover), and between those two elements a full-page illustration of Spidey which is also by Ditko, not enlarged from within a story but perhaps taken from a splash page or pin-up.

The new splash page featuring the figure of Spider-Man is the pin-up page from The Amazing Spider-Man (Marvel, 1963 series) #3, with all the text elements replaced. The figure of Doctor Octopus is from the original issue, story Page 5, panel 3.

Synopsis: Along with coupon no. 7 for the poster, Spider-Man reveals the answer to the previous issue's "puzzle": SIX SUPER-HEROES will appear on the poster! Next week their identities will be revealed [for a comic publishing the adventures of the Hulk, Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, this won't be much of a surprise ...] and how to claim your poster will be explained in #10 [not this issue, as originally claimed].
