This is an Amazing and Spectacular poster of the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #262 featuring stuntman Scott Leva as Peter Parker!

Was a notable Spider-Man photo cover meant as a tie-in to a proposed Spider-Man film of the time?

People naturally are looking back at Spider-Man's earlier movie past.

One of the items that people naturally think back upon is the cover to Amazing Spider-Man #262, which was by the great writer/artist Bob Layton.

The fellow playing Spider-Man on the cover was none other than Scott Leva, who was then shown in a lot of promotional material for a proposed Spider-Man film by Cannon Films in 1985...

Fans have looked back and put the two events together. You know, Marvel was promoting the upcoming film through the photo cover or Marvel was pushing Leva for the role.

That was not the case. I asked Bob about it and he explained that it was simply a matter of Jim Shooter liking the idea of doing photo covers,
