American Update: Spider-Mania: Horror of the Hobgoblin: 1st appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #238
*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, cents with no UK price or overstamp, at £75 and proudly retains the Free Gift – Lakeside ‘Tattooz’ – which baffle and frustrate so many completists. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
