American Comics Update: Spider-Mania: John Romita’s debut with Goblin two-parter in Amazing #39/40
*Marvel: This week, this much sought after two-part storyline in Amazing Spider-Man #39 & #40. I doubt that Marvel could have picked a more anticipated story than the Green Goblin showdown to herald the replacement of Steve Ditko with John Romita on art duties. This is where Spidey and the Goblin learn each other’s secret identities and battle to ultimate victory and defeat (we suspect you know who wins…).
PICTURED: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN BOTH SOLD
