Panels from Amazing Spider-Man #305 (Late September 1988), script by David Michelinie, pencils by Todd McFarlane, inks by a whole lotta guys depending on which page you're lookin' at, colors by Gregory Wright, letters by Rick Parker
There's another almost celebrity appearance in ASM #305 earlier in the book, when Spider-Man signs an autograph for an off-camera Glenn Close.
Also in that panel: J. Jonah Jameson's handsomer cousin, and Abraham Lincoln. (Or maybe it's just this guy from Danger!! Death Ray:)
Also making an appearance, likely just out of the panel, Felix the Cat.
But we all know the real reason to read this comic is this panel:
That's right: nobody can resist the sight of sexy, sexy Peter Parker in a swimsuit. Rwaaaaaaar!
*Betcha didn't know Johnny's Theme (The Tonight Show Theme) had lyrics!:

I did know that "Johnny's Theme" had lyrics. Before it was Johnny's theme. I forget where I learned the story. It might have been Little Steven's Underground Garage, or Kliph Nesteroff's invaluable blog, or one of the curated music programs I follow. The short story is one of those "I'll use your song, kid, if I get a co-writer credit."
It sounds like a similar arrangement to Gene Roddenberry being able to claim half-credit for the theme to Star Trek simply by adding (never-used) lyrics to Alexander Courage's music! rassin' frassin' roddenberry
Delta: you're right, it is Principal!
And I would pay good money to see Al Hirt in a comic book. Mama Bull always had lots of Al Hirt LPs, and he'd look great in a comic! Play "Flight of the Bumblebee," Al!
