*Marvel: One of the most sought-after storylines in Spidey’s history from the Good Doctor Collection this week. I don’t think anyone saw this coming back in 1973! In Amazing Spider-Man #121, Gwen Stacey died at the hands of the Green Goblin, and that villain perished himself in the very next issue. These landmark stories still resonate to this day, and although perhaps somewhat diluted by the return of both characters (hey kids, this IS comics!), the impact at the time was momentous and both issues still attract much collector interest. Both our latest issues are cents copies of course, since these issues were not distributed in the UK. However, some copies came to these shores as ship’s ballast, and this appears to be the case here. #121 is glossy with great colour, tight staples and white to off-white pages, but has the wavy rippling effect of water exposure throughout. #122 also has this, a little more severely, and has ballast ink marking at page edges, which does not intrude on to the cover; again, it has nice colour, gloss, pages and staples.
