American Comics Update: Spider-Mania/The Totally Amazing Spider-Man Collection: Amazing #26 & #27: Crime-Master/Green Goblin two-parter
*Marvel: If you’re looking for really nice copies of Amazing Spider-Man for your collection, then look no further than the Totally Amazing Spider-Man Collection. All high grade; even the few that fall below VF (and most are above) are really good-looking copies – no duds here, and nearly all cents copies. A wonderful Lee & Ditko two-parter this week in Amazing #26 & #27, where Spidey comes up against the Crime-Master (an old foe in a new guise) and, of course, his primary nemesis of the time, the Green Goblin. I can remember buying #27 in a newsagent’s as it came out, my first issue of Amazing. Ditko’s hoodlums on the cover were dressed in such an old-fashioned way, I remember wondering if this was set contemporaneously or historically. Ah, balmy days!
