Strangely enough, this was only the first Charles Bronson guest appearance in Spider-Man comics...

Rob: Innnnteresting! I didn't know about the character of Colonel Buchinsky. If this is him, I can't count it as a celebrity! So for the moment I'm gonna assume that's real-life Earth-616 Charles Bronson, just reading the newspaper and walking ahead of Petey and Aunt May!

Thanks for the info...I love this kind of stuff!

Let's say that's the real Bronson in Spectacular there, and Col. Buchinsky just happens to be from Bronson, Missouri - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Bt4Ly9_9Qg
