*Marvel: This week, we’re celebrating Spidey’s arch-foe, the Green Goblin, with a series of updates spotlighting Goblins Green, Hob & Red, kicking off with the big one from the Totally Amazing Spider-Man Collection  (as launched last week). ‘Does the Green Goblin Look Cute To You?…’ The rather twee opening line of the blurb on the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #14 heralded the first appearance of Spider-Man’s most dastardly and persistent enemy – his ‘Joker’, so to speak. The sinister and malevolent Green Goblin has plagued Spider-Man ever since, causing chaos, destruction and the deaths of some of Spidey’s most beloved friends, and this masterwork by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko is where his villainous career kicked off. And guest-starring the Hulk to boot! This is a beautiful FN- pence printed copy of a comic which is continually rising in value, clean, flat and glossy, with tight and firmly-attached staples and deep, rich colours. There is a little corner blunting and very minor edge wear and the tiniest corner off the bottom right corner edge (you can see this best in the splash image below); creasing is restricted to a couple of short marks in the masthead area which do not break colour. Nice off-white page quality and a copy that presents very well. High resolution images are available on request.
