Hey-o! I'm grampaglasses, otherwise known as that dude who did a TAS of this game.

Anyway, I've been messing with a glitch I like to call Surface Sink Clipping, and I found an application for it that should save about 40 seconds in a speedrun.

To do the glitch, you need to find a surface that Spidey can attach to, but is unable to climb up (for example, a door). All you need to do from there is hold forward and keep pressing the jump button to detach him from the wall. Continuously doing this will slowly sink Spidey into the surface he's in.

Once you have the comic, just reset to get out. The comic will stay collected.

Unsure if this works on any of the other versions. I have yet to find another good application for this trick, but if I do I'll let you guys know.
