“Trade Secret”

In "Trade Secret," Peter Parker faces a dangerous breach of privacy when a sleazy photographer captures him mid-change, threatening to expose his secret identity to the criminal underworld. Written by Bob Layton and illustrated by Bob Layton with inks by Garzon, this 1985 issue delivers a tense, grounded showdown where Spider-Man must protect his real name before it’s sold to the highest bidder. The cover by Eliot R. Brown and Ron Zalme captures the moment’s urgency with sharp, dramatic flair.
