American Update: Spider-Mania Max: Amazing #196 to #251, with Debuts of Hobgoblin, Hydro-Man, Madame Web & More
*Marvel: Our massive Spider event continues, with a virtually unbroken run (one issue missing, but I’m sure you can figure it out using your skill and judgement) from #196 through to #251, beginning in the latter days of the ‘Non-Distributed’ years. Highlights include the death of Aunt May (well, the first one. It didn’t stick), the double-sized #200, and the first appearances of several characters who were destined to become pivotal in Spidey’s life; Hydro-Man, Madame Web, the captivating Calypso, and of course the Hobgoblin, the sinister successor to the Green Goblin’s lethal legacy. Mostly in high grades, and a full two-thirds of this run previously unrepresented in our inventory.
