Um, I just checked FF #10, Bob, and there is no such comparison/article therein.
Memory doesn't serve, again.

I read somewhere -- Simon's book perhaps -- that the Fly they did for Archie was based on an earlier unpublished character, the Silver Spider. And that Kirby did at least the visuals of his version of Spider-Man on the Silver Spider. He could, of course, have made the original suggestion to Lee as well.
Searching a bit turned up this

Apparently the Silver Spider did not involve Kirby.

Greg Theakston did a whole well-researched article on Spider-Man's origins in an old ish of PURE IMAGINATION, but I don't have the copy anymore.

I've always liked Adkins work. If nothing else- and there's quite a lot else- he was one of the best of Wood's collaborators.

Did I say it was in FF#10? I don't think so.
Do you have all the earlier issues?
If so, look thru them and I believe you'll find the Adkins swipes.
If memory serves, FF was published in Northern VA. Here in my home state.
