American Comics Update: Spider-Mania: Amazing #17, 2nd appearance Green Goblin
*Marvel: Marvel must have known they were on to a winner when they brought back the Green Goblin just three issues after his debut. This week we have one of the less common issues of Amazing Spider-Man: #17, the second-ever appearance of perhaps Spidey’s greatest enemy, the Green Goblin – with a decidedly stoned-looking (judging by the cover image) Human Torch thrown into the mix! This classic tale is a less frequent visitor to our stock than its contemporaries. This is a decent-looking copy, pence printed, with good cover colours and nice reflectivity. A little nick at right edge, some subtle stress marks at spine and a little wear along the top edge. There is a narrow dust shadow along the right edge and some non-brittle tanning to the inner cover edges. Strong, firm staples, off-white to cream pages.
PICTURED: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #17 VG/FN p £235
