American Update: Spider-Mania/Mighty Marvel Firsts: Horror of the Hobgoblin! 1st and 2nd 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 destruction, 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 £95 and proudly retains the Free Gift – Lakeside ‘Tattooz’ – which baffle and frustrate so many completists. His second appearance in #239 is NM p at £30. SOLD
