Comics have long been one of the easiest things to put yourself into as a creator. Doodle yourself in a background, show someone who looks a lot like you getting crushed by a supervillain, or just outright place yourself in a story as part of the plot - all three are more common than you might expect in the world of comic creation.

The crew behind Spectacular Spider-Man appear to have taken great inspiration from this, as they very sneakily appear in the series itself. The show manages to feature three of the supervising staff, all hidden where you'd least expect them.

Greg Weisman, the supervising writer, appears in the portion of the intro where a gathering of people are in front of an electronics store. The supervising director, Victor Cook, also appears in this part of the show - and one further time in the episode Gangland.

Sean Galloway - the series' character designer - gets the short end of the stick, only appearing briefly as a DJ in Blueprints. However, even this is pretty cool all things considered - meaning the only real shame is that more of the production team didn't manage to get a cameo.
