Peter "The Phantom" Parker Scores A Scoop

Good citizens relax! All is well; we are being watched and protected by our own superhero.

I was toddling up Victoria Way in Charlton a few days ago when I spied something strange atop a chimney stack.

Could it be? Clutching my faithful box-brownie, I tip-toed quietly towards the crouching figure, hoping that his eagle eye and razor-sharp reflexes wouldn't trigger before I could get a picture. The Daily Planet pays good money for clear shots of Spiderman himself...

The conditions weren't good (they never are when you're trying to capture a myth - The Loch Ness Monster - The Abominable Snowman - Boris Johnson actually in London...) but I think that my pictures will be clear enough for conspiracy theorists everywhere to agree that Spidey does exist...
