*Marvel: In the historic 39th issue of Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man and the Green Goblin learned each other’s true identities as the Goblin was revealed to be Norman Osborn, in the debut of John Romita on art duties on the title. Romita brought a snazzy sense of style and design to the series and quickly proved himself a worthy successor to Steve Ditko. This is a lowish graded copy with some edge wear and corner blunting, a small chip off bottom spine and a couple of small holes and pressure marks on the cover; pages are off-white to light tan; staples are firm at spine and centrefold. The rich colour cover from deep purple sky graduated to pale blue sky is very attractive.
