American Update: Spider-Mania: The Totally Amazing Spider-Man Collection: Amazing #39, 1st Romita issue with the Green Goblin
*Marvel: If you’re looking for really nice copies of Amazing Spider-Man for your collection, then look no further than the Totally Amazing Spider-Man Collection. All high grade; even the few that fall below VF (and most are above) are really good-looking copies – no duds here, and nearly all cents copies. 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. Issue #39, features a classic cover ‘homaged’ almost as much as the iconic #50, with stunning vivid colour, particularly on the graduated sky background. This is brilliantly displayed on this stunning high grade cents copy, which shows just the most minor signs of edge wear. No creases, no marks, lying flat with staples firmly attached at spine and centrefold. White to off-white pages. A real gem, not far off as it would have been on the newsstand. High resolution images are available on request.
