The "camera" that the photographer is shown holding was in actuality a tape dispenser, because the photographer, Eliot R. Brown, only owned one camera at the time (and it was already in use, being set up on a tripod snapping the actual photo used for the cover).

Production department artist Ron Zalme touched up the final image by inking over the web lines on Spider-Man's costume.
