American Comics Update: The Good Doctor Collection: Spider-Mania/Mighty Marvel Firsts: Amazing #26-28: Crime-Master, Molten Man plus the Green Goblin
*Marvel: A Lee/Ditko trio of three consecutive Amazing Spider-Man issues from the Good Doctor Collection this week. Issues #26 & #27 are a two-parter, with the debut of the Crime- Master, a familiar face in a new disguise, tangling both with Spidey and the Green Goblin in a gangland war. In #28, Spidey comes up against a new foe, the Molten Man, featuring a dazzling black cover.
