Item Description
This important issue features the debut of John Romita as the primary
artist on Spider-Man. The look and feel that he would develop over the next few
years has come to define the way many fans love to see the hero portrayed. It is
fitting that the first time out for a great artist would be with
Spider-Man’s greatest foe, the Green Goblin. The cover really creates a
horrific feeling of dread as the secret identity of Spider-Man is clearly being
revealed as he is mercilessly dragged above the city streets. The look of
delight on the Goblin’s face is priceless. This issue marks the first
appearance of the Green Goblin’s secret identity as Norman Osborn. Many
fans and comic historians consider this Goblin story-line to be among the
dramatic highlights of Spider-Man’s long career. Romita’s artwork on
the title is known for creating a more adult-like, less nerdy Peter Parker. He
would continue on as artist on the title for seven years. The story is by Stan
Lee. The art is by Romita and Mike Esposito. The pages are off-white. The Book
is CGC-certified 7.5 (VF-).
