American Update: Spider-Mania: Horror of the Hobgoblin! 1st and second appearances in Amazing Spider-Man #238 & #239
*Marvel: One very successful latter-day addition to the Web-Head’s Rogue’s Gallery was the Hobgoblin, who made his debut in 1983’s Amazing Spider-Man #238. The path of carnage and mysterious identity of this suspiciously familiar evil-doer kept readers entertained for more than a year before the Big Reveal, with several red herrings and false ‘revelations’ along the way. This copy of ASM #238 is VF p £60 and proudly retains the Free Gift – Lakeside ‘Tattooz’ – which baffle and frustrate so many completists. #239 is VF/NM p at £35. SORRY, SPIDEY #238 HAS NOW SOLD
