American Comics Update: The Good Doctor Collection: Spider-Mania: Amazing #17, 2nd appearance Green Goblin
*Marvel: From the Good Doctor Collection! 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, a nice, fresh pence-printed copy, with rich, bright colours, tight, firm staples and supple white to off-white pages. There’s minor wear along the top edge, a soft, faint 4 cm vertical crease down the centre of the logo which barely breaks colour and some tiny creasing in the bottom corner extremities. A couple of spine ticks just break colour. Conservatively graded.
